I ordered an Atkins rebuild kit a while back. Great job on their part getting it to me and the like.



I left the gasket kit sealed until recently ( I took everything else apart so I could see my new 2pc. Apex's and the rest of my goodies ) When I took the gasket set apart to inspect it, I found that one of the inner coolant seals was cracked.



Is there any way to repair this? I'm not sure if Atkins sells them individually. THX.



( I've e-mailed Atkins, and am waiting for a response )

How much does the kit cost and how do you get ahold of Atkins?

our kit was 850$[needed ky jelly] had 2p apex seals, only thing i thought should be there was oil control springs and thermostat gasket. on other hand it has thermal pellet which allows oil to rotors at all times. engine sounds sweet dont wanna get out of car.
