what's the most knowledgable shop on rotaries in the 2-5-3 who let's you bring your car in? rather than just the engine like places that do porting and engine only stuff like that...

I've heard good things about Jerry's, though I've never gone there myself.

what work do you need done? the 5/6th ports aren't really hard to get to/work on. you just need to be careful about where all your vac lines go, and have replacement gaskets for the UIM and LIM.

i broke a piece which the auxiliary port actuator connects to, in which opens the auxiliary port and the actuator rises and turns a piece about about 180 degrees. not the actuator itself

that's kinda of cryptic. there are only 3 parts involved, the actuator, the port sleeve, and the rod that connects the two (yes i'm over simplifying things here) are you trying to say you broke the rod?

I broke this piece right off. I want to say I need the "mystery" piece which you mentioned that connects the two. the actuator was off when it happened. i wouldn't mind getting another actuator as well although i could do without

Is that part the same on S4 actuators? It looks the same. If so, I'd be happy to pull one off for you and bring it to a meet or something.
