Unhappy Rebuild Time ???

I need some help. I think I am due for a rebuld. The car sputters when first started and is drinking coolant like crazy. I believe the coolant is leaking into the combustion chamber when the car sits for more than a couple of hours. Can anyone tell me what the best parts are for my rebuild? I have an apex rx-6 turbo running about 17lbs of boost with a large fmic and all the other goodies. I would like to do a street port while I have the engine apart. Should I do it my self (template from Mazdatrix) or send it out and have it done once I have the engine apart. What kind of apex seals should i get? 2mm or 3mm? any help on the subject would be a great help.
thanks
