And my engine will be assembled in a week or two, woo!!!
But seriously, I have had them in my hand and they are very professionally made. Each seal is numbered one thru six, along with each matching end piece. I guess I should try to break one with a hammer or something to see how brittle they are, huh? |
Life time warranty https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/ohmy.png What will they pay for if they do fail because of the apex seal? It would be worth it if the replace the housing/rotor. I am sure I could break them!
|
the lifetime warranty says "stock applications". I dont' know if that's stock engine/turbos or if we could have a stock engine with aftermarket turbos. Either way, I may try these out.
|
I just ordered 2 sets. The first set will go into my naturally aspirated fc. The 2nd will be for my fd if I like them. Mazda wants over $60 a piece for the new 2mm 2 piece seals. Thats bullshit.
|
I'm wondering if they are going to need special clearancing?
|
Actually the only thing that I had to do was trim them down a lttle, just like you do to the side seals. That was all.
|
trim them down like how?
|
If you match the numbers, from the main piece to the side peice, they are already the right length...
Thats why they number them... I got a couple of kits from rotary aviation just prior to them announcing this, I think these are the seals that are running in my s5 sp 13bt, so far so good, I have been up to 16 psi a couple of times and life was good afterwards...Maxt |

I have a set of the rotary aviation seals on order for my 20B rebuild. The clearance question is one I am curious about too. Other aftermarket seals need special (ie non-std) clearances. Is there anything about clearances in the documentation? https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/blink.png |
RobboMaz,
