I had to take my engine apart because it was starting to consume a lot of coolant and this will be my first rebuild. I am reusing the stock apex seals since I had perfect compression before taking it apart and I am putting them back in their original locations in each rotor and I have a replacement iron. What sealant do I use for putting the 3 piece apex seals back together, will any loctite work? Also while I have it apart, I am thinking about just giving it a mild street port and am wondering if I am required to port the exhaust, I can find tons of info on intake porting and the templates that I have seen for a SP exhaust don't appear to remove that much material.

 

Natural, dont use loctite, find some a autozone the doesent get hard, Im personaly use black silicon, @ the bottom of the housing, and vazeline for the seal , and rotor to put it back togethers, go to mazdatrix and buy the exhaust port template,

 

superglue

 

srsly?

 

Superglue to help hold the pieces of the apex seal together during assembly, sure. That's the old school method.

I just went and picked up some krazy glue :-) Thx for your replies!
