Is there another car to get the fuel injectors off of? like an eclipse or 626 or something? also is the gasket kit from rotaryaviation.com good? I might be going with that one. And if everything is good, like apex seals, housings, etc., What do I have to replace when putting the engine together? And also what kind of paint do you use to paint the housings? Want to make it look new.

For painting the engine, do not use high temp engine paint. The stuff in like a silver can. It looked good for a while. Then I used a friendly engine degreaser and it was so good, it removed the paint too!!! WTF!! I don't really care though, it's covered by the fan anyhow.

When doing a rebuild if all the hard parts are good, I usually replace all the springs, and apex seals. Then upgrade to fd corner seal springs, webber 200 jets, and fd oil pressure reg. I check to see if the side seals and corner seals are within spec, and ofcourse clearance everything. Cleaning up the ports is a must also. I have used the high temp engine paint for the rotors in the past with good results.
