finding a new engine
i recently removed and disasembled my engine and found that two apex seals in the rear rotar gouged up the rotar housing and rotar. i had plans on rebuilding this engine but now that i know i need a new rotar and housing, i will probably just get a rebuild from some place online.
i would like some advice on where i should look for a new engine. i don't want anything special (big apex seals and street ports and such), i just what a factory spec rebuild. or, if someone has a rear rotar housing and rotar for sale cheap enough and knows a good website for new seals (all of them) i might be interested in that. however, it has been a while since my engine blew and i'd rather not be bothered with that mess. i'd rather just get a new engine and stick it in but if the price differece is big enough, i'll do it.
another thing i need to find out about is how much it costs to send the engine. i understand it depends on where i am (minot nd 58701) and where they are, but i'm just looking for an estimate from someone who has done this before.
just what to stress this again, factory spec and least expensive.
thanks for your help

Get a reman engine from Ray at malloy mazda. I've heard most of the housings are mostly new because the cores that they recieve back are junk. If you plan to do a complete rebuild with stock spec then it's cheaper going the reman route. Last time I checked ray was offering the reman for $1900+ shipping. You can call him at 888-533-3400 ask for Ray Crowe and tell him you're from the rx7 club. He'll hook you up with close to or his cost depending on the part.

I think I could help you with the rebuild, check the site out in detail, most of your questions can be answered there. I can handle the replacement of rotor and housing for you, expect rebuild cost plus part replacement to be under $2000. Engines come with 12 month unlimited mileage warranty and all gaskets necessary for replacement.
