apex seals are part of a rebuild, but you should look for 3 mm apex seals. I don't remember the costs though... sorry. personaly, i'd get a car with the original engine if possible, like RB25240kouki said, there is a nice benifit to picking your own mechanic, or if you want, learn to do it yourself. porting would be real nice, a street port would probably be a good idea. talk to ur rotary guys, ur lucky to have 2, that way the compete for prices and such. you can probably bargain your way into a cheaper rebuild going back and forth. by the way, u could sell that 97 accord for more than 5k. we sold our 96 accord for 7k last year, and even that was low. just somethin to think about
