Do it yourself. That's the only way to know it was done correctly.

I would do it yourself, its not that hard. Or if you have money to spend I would take it Pineapple Racing.

Try looking for RX7club member RW-7. He does rebuilds and is very reasonable and does good work.

You don't have a table or floor? Our engines are super small and do not require much space more than a tire to do a rebuild.

My rebuild was done by Pineapple Racing and installed at Jerry's Little Car Shop. I've been very happy with the results so far (almost 3K mi), and would recommend either place.

However, I talked to Jerry about doing a rebuild and he said that he won't do anything other than stock rebuilds...no 3mm, no port work, etc.
