    Default Motor popped a seal?

    I was thinking of buying a 1993 rx-7 but the seller said that the motor popped a seal. I was wondering do I need to rebuild a new motor? Is it a easy fix? And where in atlanta can i go to see about a rotoary specialists shops? thanks in advance..

    You do not have to get a new motor but you will have to atleast rebuld that one.

    If the motor only blew a seal then it is not going to be too expensive to rebuild.

    But, it that seal damaged the rotor housing at all it can be costly.

    Im not sure of any shops that deal with Rx-7s, but if im not mistaken Mudavi Motorsports has done some work with them.

    MazCare in Marietta if you want to swap out the motor.

    Juan Delgado or David Girod if you want to rebuild it.

    It can be as simple as that.

    No, Charlie owns MazCare. Good work, a little pricey, but always dependable.

    Juan works at Jim Ellis Mazda as a master tech.

    David has just been doing the stuff for years and does it for pretty cheap.

    Any of them are excellent. They are on all different sides of the city, so someone will be close to you.
