Not a video, but at least as far as the 3rd Generation goes, the Factory Service Manual has a very comprehensive section on rebuilding. Haven’t seen the Atkins vid but hard to imagine you’d find EVERYTHING in it...and will need both.

There are a few on youtube.

Forum member Aaron Cake's RX-5 restoration vlog series covers the engine rebuild. There are others that show teardown and cleaning.

Aaron's videos are very good and very thorough. Atkins does sell a rebuild video as mentioned above. I believe it covers the 13B but the same principles apply.

Watch videos to get an overview, build using the manual.
