How much do the seals cost? well stock apex seals and springs cost couple hundred bux but to replace it, u have to take the engine out, open it, re-do all soft seals, clean and measure all parts then the builder has to decide what will be re-use and he rest goes to garbage. the whole process can range from 3k to 11k depends on what you want.

If you don't know you can't do it? That's crazy I'm here for 2 reasons, gaining information and giving information so even if I can't do it who's to say that I'm not working my way up and doing some research? I don't mean to offend but it seems crazy to assume that I can't do it I've been on pistions my whole life now I have a dorito and I can't do it... You and I both know that's not how it always works

^ He wrote that ~6 years ago, and it was not directed at you.

Most regular folks who try to rebuild a Renesis fail in their first 2 attempts. It costs around $2K in parts per attempt on average, more if you replace all the stuff you really should replace.

Because of this, we usually direct people toward the respected rebuilders or a Mazda reman.
