what they did was disco the old 3 peice 2mm seals(n3f1) and superceed them with the new renisis style 2mm 2 peice seals (n351?). the renisis has its own seals (n3h1)

Yes I heard this aswell.

The 3 piece ones can chatter and break.

I would have no problems if mazda eventually gets them down to one piece seals. Seems to me that it will make assembly that much easier.

Mazda finally doing something usefull
