Cool Rotating Assembly question

Can you and is there any benefit to using a S5 rotating assembly over a -se/ 4port assembly? I have a S5 motor that I tore down and want to determine if I can use it in the older 13b 4 port/or 13b -se motors I have in my shop.

Thanks for your input!

S5 N/A has the 9.7:1 compression. The BEST for N/A apps like bridges and P-Ports. Plus they're the lightest N/A assembly previous to the Rx8 ****.

Yep, it's S5 N/A, that is sweet, looks like I can keep it, should I do the 3mm conversion on the apex seals or keep with the 2mm?
