if you don''t have a lot of money and are mechanically inclined, go to mazdatrix and get the manual on how to rebuild the motor. that will pretty much be the only way to get it done cheap. rotary engines are pretty simple compared to piston engines, but there aren''t a lot of people that will mess with them. that makes it kind of expensive to get rotary rebuilds done. if you do find someone to do it, it will probably be at least $1500.

You may not just be looking at the seals. What you will need is a complete rebuild. Hopefully the seals did not break & take out the rear rotor & housing.

youd be better off picking up a used engine then a rebuild
