Atkins 93-95 Rx7 "Master" Rebuild Kit - WNII

93-95 Rx7 "Master" Rebuild Kit
pro's: has just about everything required for stock rebuild, cheat sheet makes life way easier.
con's: expensive, o-rings and gaskets unlabeled makes for some guesswork

ease of use: 7/10 (poor labeling on orings and gaskets plus was missing a required o-ring)
Quality: 10/10
value 7/10 (really really expensive for those o-ring kits to not be labeled imo)
overall: 8/10

bought the Atkins master rebuild kit for my build and although there were definitely some awesome things included such as the laminated cheat sheet that has all the measurements and torque settings for the entire engine, the oring and gasket kits included need some better labelling on them as i was guessing which ring fit where, obviously some were easily id'd but I am a bit worried as i am doing a single turbo swap and this kit comes with every single o-ring and gasket involved with the entire stock set up i am left here with a pile of random crap that i wont be needing, which has me hoping i haven't missed anything

also note it did not come with a oil level sensor oring and i ended up having to re-use the old one (also cracked the sensor backplate trying to fit a different oring under it >.<' but that was my fault)

I use atkins kits in all my rebuilds and haven't had any issues with O-ring installations. Might be wrong but, Atkins has the most cost efficient kits and always are in stock compared to the the massive wait times for the local Mazda dealers.

Then again, it is your experience. A friendly tip would be to take photos of how you take them out before you remove. That way when you put it back together, it more of a remove, clean and install thing without the confusion parts!
