So it looks like my coolant seals blew on my 1990 rx7 so I am looking and doing research on what is the best rebuild kit to get, I am looking at one from racing beats and one from Atkins rotary. the racing beat is twice as much costing about $2k, is that kit the best or would I be safe just getting the $1k Atkins kit. As well is there anything I should be weary about that I am not thinking about such as additional purchases to the kit to rebuild the engine, any things I should watch out for when taking apart the engine. I am very new and this is my first time tearing into any kind of engine.

 

The best kit is the one you build yourself

for the best forum experience, pay attention and post in the correct section

 

damn that was hard mate

 

He is 100% right. You have to shop around. Depends one what your goals are. Atkins sells a lot of good parts, but not all are OEM or up to spec. When we built my engine we ordered probably 60% from Atkins 40% from Ray Crowe.

 

My build: s5 t2 rebuilt with 40k ~10 years ago still running strong.

Pineapple racing HD water seal kit, pineapple racing oil control orings. Rotary aviation apex seals, Atkins solid corner seals w/ fd3s style springs. Oem oil control ring scrapers, and new oem oil control springs, viton oil control rings. Atkins side seals and Atkins side seal springs. So all new seals and springs. Most gaskets sourced from pineapple racing or Atkins.

I'd be careful of Atkins and hit up Mazdatrix or Ray Crowe for OEM stuff. The rest depends on what you're trying to do with the car. There's lots of good info on this site.
