Little help :]
 
Ok so i bought a 1993 Twin turbo rx7 about 2 years ago absolutely love it. But about a month or so ago i noticed something different in my oil. Talked to a friend and looked on the net. Found out its and apex seal leak, So i was wondering if anyone could give me a direction where to go to get it fixed this spring. Was looking for a local tuner or mechanic that could to do the work for me. I live around the Saratoga springs area in New York.

Usually when you loose a apex seal, you loose the motor. Perhaps you mean a side seal?

Yea then its the side seal since the engine still runs fine. Still sorta new to rotary engine wear n tear but i am learning fast. Just don't have the time to learn how to tear it apart and rebuild it with school and work.

welcome to the board. :)

not really sure how your friend went from "something different in your oil" to "blown apex seal", so i think so more background info or current symptoms are in order.

what was different in your oil?
what are the symptoms you're having now?

Car runs fine I have changed the oil multiple times, The oil is Mobil one full synthetic. Ok the oil looks like milk chocolate frosting, Like i said the car runs fine i take it up to 6,000 RPMs without a problem and goes through all the gears without a problem. Ill be honest i don't know a lot about trouble shooting rotary engine problems.
