Exclamation What Should I do.....

I'm contemplating what to do about my 88TII with a stuck seal or something along those lines on the front rotor..all the seals are intact (inspected through exhaust ports) lemme just tell you I am knowlegable about mechanics in general but I have never taken a Rotory engine apart (or any engine for that matter) I have my current engine out of the car and ready to be torn apart. My question is what would be the best path to take..

A)Keep my engine and rebuild the sucka hoping engine internals are all still intact

B)Buy a Jspec and drop it in while I rebuild and street port the engine and get it ready for big power?

C)Have someone else rebuild my motor (Alamo Rotory or other mechanics that have the rotory market by the *****) and drop and N/A in for the time being.

D)Sell my car keep the motor and buy a cheap S4 throughly used TII, and rebuild my motor for when the other one goes...

E)Any other suggestion you guys have...

as always thanks for taking your time to read my post!
