Thanks for the kind words everyone! I was planning on tearing the engine down this upcoming weekend. Don't get me wrong, If the rotors and housings are still in good shape and not completely grooved and scorched from that seal loosely bouncing around in there, then I will likely try and rebuild it myself. Especially if it is just something as trivial as replacing the seals.
As far as shops go, there are not an abundance of shops in the region (Ottawa) I would consider competent to handle an old rotary. In any case I would likely feel much better doing the work myself. As you guys have said, as well as many other rotary enthusiasts I have spoken with, these engines are not the most difficult thing in the world to work on yourself with a little patience.
I'm only planning on swapping another 12a in a worst case scenario, to keep the car on the road until the end of summer, so that I can have the winter months to do a proper 13bt swap. I had hoped that the engine would have held up a little longer than this though. Haha
