Hello and Merry Christmas to all ...

 

Joe, in response to your email ... I have 12 hours on my recent rebuid using Atkins solid corner seals; I found one stock Mazda corner split-seal broken during tear-down, so I replaced them all. I have since learned that Mazda used to make solid seals as well so that could be an option.  There is some info about that if you search the archives.

Jeff

I am getting close to assembling the engine. I have a 89 irons and rotor housings. I will be using the E shaft rotors and counterweights from a 88 as one of the 89 rotors was damaged at the apex seal slot. One of the rotor housings was replaced. Both housings are P Ported. I was going to stick with the Mazda 2mm seals. My questions are: Where is the best place to purchase rebuild parts? Do you replace the rotor oil control seal carriers or trays? Should I use a 3rd gen oil pump or maybe a 2nd gen turbo pump? Has anyone used Akins solid corner seals? Any issues? I know these questions sound unusual but I want to do this right. Thanks for any help and Seasons Greetings to all of you that have helped by being here.
