ebay sale...read carefully

i was lookin on ebay for some parts, i searched "1985 rx-7" and i seen an oil cooler for 2 bucks and decided to check it out and found out its a 2nd gen cooler.... but read the description carefully

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Oil-c...QQcmdZViewItem

ok now for the next item he is selling a "Fuel/air inj.assembly" read that description carefully also

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Fuel-...spagenameZWDVW

and the reply is...

"
I have already been corrected, and it is not an omega seal that I was referring to. It was the apex seal, which is between the rotor and engine block. Internal to the engine, this is an external peice, so it suffered no damage and is in good working order to the best of my knowledge. "

seems like i wasnt the first to be a smart ***.

Omega seals are the key to rotary performance. They allow the boost to escape out the one side, that is why they are better than regular "O" rings. lol.
