As many of you know I have been rebuilding my 87 na. I need the inner and outter oil seals in the rings inside the rotors, but they are so expensive! I got the front and rear "camshaft seals" a new pilot bearing and seal like everyone suggested, and a gasket set which was more exetesive than i thought it would be, everthing is in good shape, my problem was the big seals between the rear and intermediate housing was sunk, leaking coolant into my chamber,, man, these engines are crazy! great ideaiest this wankel was. anyway, any one know a good source for those seals i was talking about? or any other tips for me apon the rebuilding prossess? i cleaned my carbon covered rotors and im puting new hoses on everything. Also i broke my oil metering pump thing getting the front camshaft bolt off. hopefully i can find one in a bone yard. thanks

Camshaft? I believe the rotary doesn't have any of those do to the lack of valvetrain. Maybe your talking about the eccentric shaft which the rotors ride on. I can't help you with sourcing any cheaper parts sorry.

I think thats why he put quotes around camshaft.
I think the word your looking for man is eccentric shaft.
