You can pick up a salvage Kramden link for 1/10th the price of a new one, but just make sure the car it's coming off of was hit from the front, and not the rear.

Instead of rebuilding the engine at 15,000 miles, you should use use a can of engine restore. Here is how it works for a rotary:
1)Buy a can of 6-cyl Engine Restore and a can of 4-cyl Engine Restore.
2)Pour the entire contents of the 4-cyl Engine Restore into the trash.
3)Pour the contents of the 6-cyl Engine Restore into the empty 4-cyl Engine Restore can until full.
4)You now have 2-cylinders worth of Engine Restore remaining in the 6-cyl Engine Restore can.
5)Pour remaining contents of 6-cyl Engine Restore into oil fill tube.
6)Enjoy the new found power of a fully restored rotary engine.

My dealer said I needed to replace my seat gaskets, too, can Hymee's hook me up? I'm also staring down the gascolator replacement at 10k miles. Maybe I can save on shipping if I get my gascolator and Kramden links in one package.

An "**** sphincter " is near the exhaust outlet somewhere - not sure .
