Just get the shop manual! It was all I needed to rebuild my engine. It's not that difficult really. Prior to my rebuild, all I had done on a car was to change oil.

Somewhere on the Lightening in a World of Thunder website there is information on a video you can buy that takes you thru the process of rebuilding a rotary.
I've heard its pretty good. Its like $20

Blow up or win
You MUST clean everything spotlessly, this is probably half the time it takes to rebuild. Label every part and where it came from. Make sure you know how to clearance everything, and oh.....buy a GOOD torque wrench. Setting the end play correctly is a motha', and without a doubt the most critical part of longevity. It's really a very simple engine. I would leave porting to a pro - it's tricky stuff unless all you are going to do is smooth them out, which is a significant benefit without any risk.
