I will also say that anyone not using new rotor housings is going to need another rebuild before many of the aftermarket metallic seals wear out, so even if they don't last as long as OEM, it might be all you really need for the typical 30-50K rebuild.

Bottom line is....buy what you want and see what works for you! For me I prefer Atkins seals because they work for my street ported motors and I never had a problem yet. Rotary Aviation doesnt make 12a Apex seals and ceramic seals isnt for my applications.

well, for the hurley seals and longevety...... i haven't heard. just from a porterican racer that used to use atkins seals, yet had to replace them every 3rd race or so. went to hurleys and was able to run all year, and only replaced them for a sure mind the next year.
thats all.
thats all.

I don't to many peeps out there making apex seals.I have heard that hurley seals are not that great and don't come according to size and specs of the rotor. Some come fat some come short, and some come to thin. I have heard that atkins are good, I use the ones from mazda trix all the time with no problems. I run the steel and the carbon ones back and forth.It's just a matter of taste, but at the same time reputation.I say mazda trix, racing beat, or atkins

^^^ Agree 100% ^^^ Many people try to justify their Apex seal purshase w/ lots of hear say and then wonder if they made the right choice. Go for the trusted names in the business and you'' be just fine!
