Atkins rotary will have what you need.
Or speak to your local tame tuner/engine rebuilder. I\'m sure Clive and Mazda Rotary Parts will also help you out

Sad to hear this,

Hopefully you will get the car that you have owned and enjoyed for many years now back on the road

adib, when you take the engine out and apart the seal kit to put the engine back together if there is nothing wrong is like £500-600 already

be carefull and look into seal and spring choice as these have huge impact on quality of rebuild,id avoid 3mm and use gen springs,if its your first rebuild may be a good idea to use mazda parts for most of it.id say budget 1k and metres of vac hose for a good build that will last,hopefully it hasnt done the housing/rotor

Before you make a decision you really need to talk to Tim (if you can get him to the phone) he can supply cheap good used housing rotors etc if money is tight. I\'ve bought loads of stuff from him over the years and can\'t recommend him enough, if your close it worth a trip to his place as its a real eye opener :)
