Engine Rebuild

Well 6 months ago i bought a Jspec engine and was hoping to be one of the lucky ones to get a good motor...TUrns out im not so lucky. Most of the Apex seals are stuck, when i turned it over i only got 1 decent whoooosh. So i just have been letting it soak in some MMO and was gonna just drop it in and see what happens, but i really dont think it is would last too long and i dont wanna take the chance....

So really im looking for suggestions, i would rebuild it myself but i just dont have time right now, since im about to be going back to school.
I would like to get it Professionally rebuilt, ported and other goodies but being a student i cant really afford it.

Anybody know of some shops that arent to rediculously priced and could do a rebuild on an engine thats not even blown? Im possibly think'N kevin Landers

If u guys could help me out w/ some options id be very greatful

Thanx

Try pouring some sea foam in the engine. I heard that works better than MMO sometimes. I figured it was a shot. I wish I would have tried that for my engine.

If worse comes to worst, I can perform the build and also do all sorts of modifications to it. Check out my gallery website and toss me a PM if you'd like.
