I'm in the preocess of planning out an RE rebuild.
Just curious which kit would be most inclusive of all the seals and parts I would be using. Are there any RE specific rebuild kits out there?

I think the OE 3-piece seals would work best for my app. as I am looking to build a street motor, with nice power in the 300-400 rwhp range.

Thanks,

There's no kit.
The intake manifold and exhaust gaskets are not brought into the U.S.
You need to buy the rest of the parts "ala carte".

Cosmo 13BRE? don't use the Cosmo rotor housings; find yourself some T2 or FD rotgor housings. I would get yourself a 3rd gen basic kit from Rotary Aviation or perhaps piece everything together via Atkins Rotary or something. The gaskets will have to be made by hand as the paper ones are not made here for the intake manifolds. Everything else engine-wise should work just fine.

Thanks, as I was most concerned about the internals. So, I'll just get the basic FD/TII kit.
And, yeah, I meant the Cosmo 13b-RE. Sorry about the confusion.

Some of the RE gaskets can be purchased in copper from CLR Motorsports. The FD LIM gasket will work with the Cosmo, you'll just have to port it. I used an FD gasket kit and had to make my own paper gasket for the LIM. I use the FD's LIM/UIM.

I just went to the local autoparts store and bought a roll of that gasket material and made my own intake gaskets for my -RE.

 

Ditto.
