TX rear rotar lost partial compression

i just purchased a 89 turbo 2 that has 100 compression in the front and 30 in the rear. the guy i purchased it from said i just needed to replace the seals but he didn't tell me what seals that would be and now i can't get hold of him to ask. im going to have a shop pull the motor for me and another guy coming up from san Marcos to Georgetown tx to replace the seals for me but i need tp know which ones to get. are there any other problems i should be looking for or does what the owner said sound like its possible. let me know please cause im gonna tow it to the shop Monday so i can have it running by next week. thanks

I hope you didn't pay very much, because you need to rebuild the engine. A rebuild alone can range from $500 - $4000+ depending on what kit you're using, what parts are reusable, and who's rebuilding it.

Atkins rebuild kits: http://www.atkinsrotary.com/index.php?pag=5
Pineapple racing rebuild kits: http://www.pineappleracing.com/rebuildkits.aspx
Pineapple rebuilds: http://www.pineappleracing.com/custo...ldingsvcs.aspx

I would not suggest asking just any shop to rebuild your engine. Someone with rotary engine building experience is highly suggested.
