Rebuild Motor w/OEM Parts? Yes/No?
 
Should I rebuild my motor w/OEM parts? Or is there a certain company who I should look into for the parts? Also, If I replace my Apex seals w/bigger seals, do I have to change anything else to compensate?

Atkins Rotary for solid corner seals and springs

Rotary Aviation for apex seals and springs

OEM for the rest. Malloy.

search on the names and I'm sure you'll find the #'s

Bigger seals (3mm) will require machining of the rotors.

ya, who would want the entire thing oem parts? Those are the parts that keep blowing!

This is a subject you don't want to try and learn on the internet. If you screw up a motor it could cost you thousands not including your turbos.

Rotary aviation has a whole video on how to rebuild a rotary motor. Go check it out and if you got the cash buy it and watch it a few times.

ok, thanx guys, I'll go buy the video. Also, I was checkin out Atkins Rotary and they like 8 different kinds of rebuild/overhaul kits. Would it be wise to just buy one of them? Or still piece together the parts?
