Mechanic Needed!!!

I've got a 1988 RX-7 thats losing compression. I need the engine taken apart and the seals replaced but i'm having a hard time finding someone in/around Tulsa, Ok that works on early model RX-7's. Does anyone know of anybody around my area that may be willing and knowledgeable to work on my car?

Your best bet is to look around in the OK area section of the forum. I realize you can't post there yet, but in the advanced search section you can search in just that sub forum for answers.

There used to be a shop in tulsa... Rotary something or other. I don't know if they're still open or not.

I talked with the owner awhile back and he seems very knowledgable on FD's, so I'm sure your FC wouldn't be a problem.

Their number is (or was) 918-280-8895.

talk to Kevin Landers at Rotary Ressurection, hes one of the best engine builders around.

1300 assuming all your internals are still useable, and he'll find a freight company to ship, hes in Morristown, Tennessee.
