I know this is a nissan board, but if an apex seal blows on a 1988 Turbo II rx7 is it possible to replace it, or does it cause tons of damage to the engine rendering it unfixable.

Yes, you can fix it. Pretty much gonna be rebuilding the engine though, since you have to get down to the rotors to replace the apex seals.

depends on if the seals gouged your rotor housings, you won't know until you open the motor up. Off topic but I have an HKS Fcon chipped for a turbo kit and an FCD for the turbo FC, know anybody who would be interested?
