Hey guys check out what happend to my housings after 20k miles of driving on RA apex seals. http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.ph...2&page=1&pp=15

wow i really hope that its an ouside factor other than just the seals..... i have them in my engine!!!!



im sure the okinawa people can give feedback about the subject.

still doesnt sound like the apex seals fault. im thinking springs (which RA admitted sucked on turbo applications) or over-revving.



kevin.

Its those goddamned tool steel seals, they suck in general. Rebuild with ceramics if cost is not an issue or just go stock. You could probably hit those housings with some 350-400 grit wet dry but dont make them too smooth. Mazda OEM seals seem to work much better imo than the RA seals they just dont like being detonated on.

Also post some picks of the springs if possible....

Can't I already sent them off to RA. They are trading me my old seals and springs for new ones so they can examine them. Only gave me $20 off the o-ring kit when I had to take my motor apart because of their stupid springs.

How much did they get ya for on those seals/springs if ya dont mind me asking?

They traded me the seals directly because they want to do some research on my old seals.

no the originals

Like $180 for the seals and springs. Im selling the new set I get for $150 and getting me some mazda seals, already ordered the springs.
