Corner Seals, Solid or OEM?

I am leaning towards SOLID, but not sure on this one.



OIL Seals, Replace them or use the used ones?



Replacing Side Seals as well as pretty much everything else. Use the old side seal springs?



New Bearing



It's a Hybrid of a motor:

Using 6 Ports (I like the additional intake timing they give)

87 Rear Plate

91 Front Plate (91 due to o-ring issue)

87 T-II Center Plate

(Ported via Pineapple Racing Street Port)

87 T-II Rotors

87 T-II Flywheel

6 puck clutch

T-II Transmission

 

all new springs man,



unless you intend on putting some real boost(heat etc) into your engine oem will be fine, youll find your compression to be down a bit when cranking with solids.



get new oil seals too man

 

agreed, I would put in new springs, your using new seals aren't you, so why bother re-using the springs.



haven't had experience with solid seals, but I haven't had a bad experience with the stock ones. So I really can't give you advice on that.



and use new oil seals.

 

i like the oem corners, with the FD corner seal springs.



the oil seals depend, they wear slowly, so you dont always need em



springs are cheap, just change em

 

Spring failure seems to lead to seal failure.



If it didn't smoke, I wouldn't worry too much about the oil rings, as long as the metal pieces are still "sharp".



Make sure your clutch disk has a sprung center. It will add greatly to the life of your transmission, and your motor mounts too.

 

Thanks Guys.



I ordered my parts today. I got the Atkins Solid Corner Seals and 93+ springs



And the Rotary Avation Rebuild kit with Racing Apex Springs.



Just need to get my injectors sent out to be cleaned and flowed.



If I can find a way to fit the plumbing in I'd like to add a front mounted intercooler. Looking on Ebay there are tons of options here.
