It seems you don't know which parts to change when rebuild...... Do you know that when you rebuilt, you usually need two new rotor housing, a set of apex seal, corner seals and water gasket, that's all...... Those are common change items, side seals and intake & exhaust can still be reused..... If rebuilt wasn't good enuff, why we don't just get new engine, why RE-Amemiya, RotorMaster, Mazfix, FEED and KS rebuilt so many engines a year?????? Think properly pls..... rebuilt is so freaking common, maybe you don't realised....

csl bro. don't think too much liaw. u already buy a new engine. thats the best. thats mean u got extra engine. after u take it out then u try see if u want rebuild that old one or not. if rebuild that one u can put at home for replacing it when it kaboom again. if not then u sell me your old engine. ^^
