Use local RX Eng wiz. and get job done rite first time. Can also tell u what else needs attention. Pete D.

Your going to need to rebuild the engine, which can cost from $400-450 in full rebuild kit. Plus time. Rotary engines are alien compared to the normal piston engine. Altho compared to the pistion engine, a rotary really only has 3 moving parts.. the 2 rotors, an eccentric shaft! And tends to be far more reliable if maintained. A rotary engine can be got at about 800-1000 for a NA and 1,400 for engine transmission, ecu and uncut wiring harness.

if you have a bad apex seal you can replace the apex seals and side seals depending upon the condition of the engine, if the housing or side wall is worn or scraped badly than you will need new housings and possibly side walls. but your motor may run depending on how badly worn the apex seal is.

this could be a few things but most likely is that you've blown an apex seal which is pretty bad, the only way to know for sure is a Mazda compression test. best get it tested to be sure because if it is the apex seals then the longer you leave it the more damage is being caused inside your engine.
