I use the atkins seals in all my rebuilds. I do mostly 13B engines. Never had an issue with them.. Atkins constumer service also is very proffesional.. I would go with them

I did not know RA did seals for the 12a, I thought the only apexseals they made where for the 2mm and 3mm 13b. But as for the 2mm, I have over 10,000 hard miles on them with around 13 psi of boost.
