Haag Performance in Lodi. Mike Haag runs a Spec MX-5 team and race support as his primary operation but has been building rotaries for years, and has spares.

I already have been in contact with him. He charges a lot for a basic rebuild. He has spares?

Define 'a lot', the problem is that most of the time these things don't need a 'rebuild' they need to be built from the ground up. It's a very different situation than being given a piston engine that just needs rings, valves, and labor.

Case in point: my last relatively simple 'rebuild' of a 12A for a customer ended up being 5.5k, and that was 'bro rates' on the porting and a couple other things.
