Default Help...

I have a 1987 S4 RX7. Its got about 154k+ miles on the odo and counting. I got the car for free, and I have virtually no money in her.

I have basic mechanical skills, but I know that the engine is approaching the rebuild stage. I would like to just by a motor and have someone drop it in, but I cant seem to find anybody local that really knows what they are doing with rotaries. :bbb:

I'd rather buy a S4/S5 (maybe even a TII) with clean body and moderately good motor, but that's not in the budget right now.

What I need is someone that knows what they are doing to either rebuild my current motor (I'll supply the rebuild kit) or, point me in the direction of someone that has a good engine for sale and assist with the swap.

I had access to a shop previously, but I dont really trust the mechanic there, as they have NO experience with building a 13b.

HELP!

Sam does rebuild work for a decent price ...

I'd go with Jeff from Maztech or Scott from Mazsport if you want a really reliable and backed engine though . It will pay divedends in the longrun ...

always get a new engine or new parts, never rebuild with old shit, your engine will not last.
