Depends how much money you have. Probably the best rebuild (but the most expensive $5-$7,000) would be tri-point engineering talk to mark. They know what they are doing there.

yep, i still work full time(if you can even call it full time these days...) at the caddy dealer and do rotary work on the side, though these days it seems the majority of my work is on the sevens. at the moment though i don't have enough work to quit my job and do it full time as of yet.

lol
i've already been there and done that, which is why the last line is in my sig, i still own my old business but i had to go back to work after about 9 months when i couldn't get enough work to keep busy with my business. this small town is tough to get a foot planted in with a small business, which is why i believe it will work out better this time around since i have customers from all around California and hopefully even out of state soon.

the only way i can do it is i'm not married, have no kids, virtually no "adult" responsibilities....i don't need that much money to get by.

No it's not Turbo'd
R&R in Upland seems very knowledgeable, and fair. Not to be confused with R&R in Santa Ana... Don't know much about them... rotary power is VERY busy, and some have had difficulty with them, but I'm sure that can be said about any shop, person....
