Seal replacement

Have owned an '04 RX8 for about a year and a half. Has around 125k miles on it. It's been drinking oil and smokes. Loss of power and now a very rough idle. All the research I have done points to a seal replacement. I have a mechanic who can do it, just need the parts. What do I need to buy? Where is the best place to get it?

Seal replacement? As in rebuilding the engine? Theres a few different company that offer rebuild kits, Atkins, Rotary aviation and Pineapple just to name a few. Make sure you do your research and you'll likely want to order parts after you get the engine apart to see exactly what you need.
