My Renesis was built using the same O-ring kit that RWS sells for the earlier 13B.  TES inner coolant O-ring but Viton oil seal rings.  Works just fine.
 
Just read the Car & Driver article on long term test of RX-8.  They saw the same long break-in period on the engine that I did.  Compression was terrific from first run on but the power increased slowly over time.  The CD car was significantly faster in the 1/4 mile after 40,000 miles than when new.  I still don't know why this should be.  The slightly wider side seals and  exhaust shield on the rotors would not seem like they would cause this much difference.

George,
    Now we need one of our Renesis engine builders to step up and prove
that the coolent seals fit their rotor housings.........Did you purchase TES
rotor seals from Creavey for your Renesis rotors ?

Lynn,
I would say my "O"rings fit pretty well and that's the Cosmo Rotor Housing - see photo.
