CA My 12a rear apex seals are bad...

Hey guys,

Just bought an 85 gsl with a non running 12a, the rear rotor has no compression

Does anybody know where I can get another motor in the [b]bay area[b/] for a reasonable price. Either a 12a I can put in until mine is rebuilt with some upgrades, or upgrade now to a 13B while my motor is out....

let me know, thanks

Tommie

stick with 12a. You can find it by traveling to the cave of wonders.

Look around for some local rotary shops, they could help you find a used motor. Also keep an eye on the West For-Sale section here, as motors come and go on there from time to time.

12a is badass! so strong. i bet is more reliable than the 13b?

FAIL!

thanks for the input guys... What are considered the better rotary shops in the Bay? I may also need a machinist that know about rotarys....

I have a 12a lined up possibly from a member on the board but lives in OH and a 13b locally...well see what happens

anybody have any experience about the 13b NA swap into FB... I need to know what parts to get from the FC... I cant find a good thread while searching...
