Just recently had lucky7 do my rebuild, about 2 weeks ago.
I bought some low mileage housing from a forum member; had one of the housings resurfaced by Goopy Performance. Went with Pineapple Racing heavy duty water seals and Goopy apex seals (i couldnt decide on seals so i flipped a coin). And the rest was OEM. Also had them do a streetport.
Im in the middle of a slow build so thats all i have.
If i were to do it again, i think i would buy a reman and have it streetported.
PIC for no reason.

Each of their kits have their positives and negatives:
- Atkins is known for softer seals. This can make them a little more brittle, but reduces wear on the housings.
- Rotary Aviation is harder, but causes more wear/chatter on the housings. Also, the Rotary Aviation coolant seals are difficult to install (so much so, I gave up using them and used OEM coolant seals).
- Many people have had good luck with Pineapple's HD Water Seals.
- You can never go wrong with OEM.
