rx7 with some problems..can i fix it?
 
hey, i found a nice rx7 for sale, but it has a couple problems, can i fix them...and how costly will it be?

The engine was inspected by Mazda and they found oil leaks at the case halfs, a possible oil metering pump leak, and a possible rear main seal leak...

There is a small exhaust leak (didn't affect smog test)...

thanx for all the help guys...

yes, you can fix them. There is nothing that cannot be fixed. Now, how much...that depends on the size of the damage. You may need 100bucks or a couple of thousands. The sure thing just take it to a rotary specialist for a check up and make a compression test as well. That's the only way you can find out.

i heard the oil metering pumps are expensive

I highly doubt its the pump, probably the gasket. I am sure one of the Haltec guys would be happy to sell you there's if it is.

This is the car on ebay. I have tried contacting the guy with no luck. Great price for a car that runs

that's what i thought. my friggin bank says that because the car is older than 7, it can't be made into callateral. so they capped me at 10 k, so dumb, how many are actually selling for that? so yeah, i asked to see if it would be an easy fix. thanx
