Unfortunately, if you "blow" a Renesis, it can't be rebuilt.

Only for Mazda.

When you lose an apex seal, it gouges the housing and, potentially, the end/mid plates and rotors.
The cost in those parts alone is $4k (provided you actually need to replace all 7, which usually isn't the case - its usually just one housing and, perhaps, one end plate).
Then its another $1700 in seals, "O" rings and gaskets.

I was being facitious...I'm on my second engine...the first one had big gouges in the rotor housings from the bits of broken apex seal.
