Which rebuild kit should be used to assemble a 2nd gen 13b P Port?
Tracy"s
rebuild kit looks complete.  Am I missing something  peculiar to P Ports?
Thanks for any help.

It might be complete but I don't trust the apex seals.

Apex seals are more subtle than they look.

Read this. http://www.rotaryeng.net/history.html
Or the whole section: http://www.rotaryeng.net/seals.html

If it were me I would buy the stock seals.
Or Iannetti ceramic.

I would also use Creavey Teflon silicone Orings.

I thought Tracy's rebuild kit used stock apex seals.

There is no reason to believe that as he touts his own seals
on his web site. We tested a set and compression was down
10% right out of the box. After a few hours of running the
rotor housing was scored. Looking at them with a magnifying glass
showed a very bad surface finish.
