Well as for the Apex Seals he said I really didn't have a choice cuz that is what Mazda is selling now.. Unless I wanted to buy NB apex seals which he said was too much money for most applications.





The FETC huh....... I will come up and see ya one night then. They have me scheduled for the second week

 

I heard that they aren't very good either, but that was also from a shop owner. They are in mine now, so I really don't have a choice. Hopefully the WPC treatment will help if there are weaker.

 

I'm just confused.

I've got at least 3 customers running them, and we've had zero problems.

They should be stronger, as the tend to fail breaking across the width (not thickness) when the seal starts to wear on a 3-piece.

At least with the 2-piece, you can use this seal a lot longer.

The discussion on the "other" forum seems to think the new 2-piece Mazda seal is a good design.

What is the price of these seals in the states? I see a few places sale them for 59$ each, Mazdatrix and others, are these the same seals?

I paid roughly 30 dollars a peice for them. I thought it was a deal 6 seals for 180bux. I like how easy they are to put in compared to 3 peice seals.



Chuck did you find out what seals were in that Border engine??

 

well didn't you say that the corner piece was just glued on? so in reality you have the 3 piece seal becuase after installation the corner section breaks off?
