Getting apex seals replaced monday

Im having a local tuner shop that has a tech that knows rotaries inside and out replace my apex seals. Hopefully I didnt do much, if any damage to the rotor itself or the housing. I should find out late monday or early tuesday when they get the engine out.

Im probably going to get the apex power fc and commander aswell. Figure might as well be safe than sorry.

If you lost a seal, you probably trashed a housing and/or rotor along with it. Hopefully that's not the case though!

There is a good chance that you killed a housing, rotor, and one or both turbine wheels in the turbos. Replacing apex seals = engine rebuilt, which usually = a bunch of other stuff to replace besides just the apex seals. And it usually takes a lot longer than one day.
