i do not know, maybe a safty for them incase some mook gets a motor and over boost the **** out of it on an improper tune and trys to warenty it. atkins says no way can them seals break under normal conditions. 2mm is the way to go

 

3mm has long been considered a solution to the percieved problem of detonation breaking seals. But more and more tuners are now considering it a bandaid to hide other problems, at best. The source of the problem lies in tuning, or inadequate supporting mods for a given hp.



As for Atkins in general, I cant say.

 

I'm a believer in stock seals. I have firsthand seen what they can do, and for any application the normal (and even not so normal) rotorhead is going to put them through, they do just fine.

 

probably so they can reuse otherwise junk rotors

 

atkins does 3mm on all turbo motors they rebuild and that is probly why so many people think that you need them to make power, not just to save a rotor.

 

stock 2 pc which superceeded the 3 pcs after the rx8 came out.



No one knows the rotary engine better than mazda. No one

 

But thats not to say mazda is engineering for the same goals as everyone else.

 

lol.. Mazda is engineering for the motor to last more than 10k...

 

ive got an unrebuilt gsl-se in the driveway with 253,000miles on it, and the 79 in the garage, is almost 30!

 

My s5TII had it's original motor till 150,000 miles. I tracked it hard for 2 years. Before that I autox'd it hard for 2 years. Before that I street raced it hard for 2 years. pretty damn good if you ask me. It would've lived longer if I hadn't been foolish and tried to run 14 psi. The only issue was huge amounts of fuel was getting into the oil. The oil seals were dead
