3d gen RX7 owner for 17 years

I bought my 93 RX7 new and love it. Some years ago I did the silicone vac hose, and ties bit and replaced the intake and exhaust gaskets. Other than an intake and exhaust there are no engine mods. The car has 75,000 miles on it and has been very reliable. I am starting this thread because I have a coolant leak (presumably a blown seal) and need to find a reliable specialty shop in the Bay area for a rebuild. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I located Rick's Rotary Performance in Pleasanton which is not in the Bay area but he has a great reputation and can do the work next week. I'll post the results.

Rick is a good resource/shop. Not cheap but he does it right.

I am envious that you bought it new and held onto it. I sat in one at the dealer in 93 but the timing wasn't right for me to have that car at that age.
