Howdy,
My '94 RX-7 wouldn't start this spring. At 60K it's looking like she needs a rebuild. My overflow tank blew a couple summers ago, pretty much hasn't run the same since, hard starting, etc.

Can anyone recommend a nearby RX7 FD specialist? I live in Bozeman. I've read good things about some company called "Pineapple" in Seattle. I'd like to find someone closer.

Thanks,
Leopardcat

Pineapple racing is very reputable I live in Southern California and I gave them a call regarding my build. They led me on the right track and told me what to expect from my build. If you want quality work hit them up they have been in the business for a while. Next time you should post your problem under the FD tab but its okay. Welcome to RCC

Welcome to the forum. You should get a compression test done to find out the health of the engine. Most likely the compression is low. This would also tell you if the seals are just worn or actually broken. If you have a piston tester its really not that hard to do and will give you a better idea of what to expect.
