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.

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.

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