I just bought a 1981 rx-7 and wanted to know a couple of things.

1) The apex seals need to be replaced and wanted to know if it was worth replacing it.

2) Where can i find a 12a engine or will a 13b engine be better.

3) How and where can i find turbo for the car.

if you can get a 13b it will fit parts are much easier to find.

YES, that is a vital component to your engine. I would assume that if your car is not running?

2) Where can i find a 12a engine or will a 13b engine be better.

If you are going to go turbo 13b would be better. Parts are much easier to find. Enjoy your car NA for a while though. It is pretty quick without a turbo as well.

3) How and where can i find turbo for the car.

Look at response above.
