WA Looking for a reasonable shop for RX8 rebuid

So I have an RX 8 and its stopped starting. Thought it was flooded at first but now it only fires off if I put oil down the intake through the vacum ports and then if it dies it wont kick over unless I add more oil.

Seems to me like it probably is rebuild time, though maybe that fancy decarbonization procedure might do it.

Anyone know a non dealership shop that is going to be competent in rebuilding a rotary?
I believe its only about 16 wear parts so I think this should not be too expensive if I can find a decent honest shop.

Thanks!

The closest one that I know of would be Pineapple Racing in Portland.

I know an amateur builder in Estacada, but to date I think he has only built 12a engines. Your best bet will probably be to get a low mileage engine from a crush yard
