Pineapple heavy duty coolant seals: rating?

Pineapple racing is famous for it's work in the rotary world.

They offer a set of heavy duty coolant seals for rebuilds.
Anyone who has them, used them or has any experience with them, please post your findings.

Thanks

Neal

according to their website, they've been testing them for years. i dunno how long they have been selling them for, though. i'm also curious as to how they do, since i have them on my shopping list for my rebuild.

I believe they tested them for about seven years and they have been out almost a year, but dont quote me on that.

I think t-von uses them. Personally, I stick with mazda on those. My feeling is that since it is usually the iron itself that fails, a better coolant seal is pointless.
