Regardless of what you've heard, I'm partial to the RA master kit. Fixing to hit 20,000 on my rebuild after using that kit, and have had zero problems along with a very enjoyable 120+ compression all around...

Why do you need a kit? The archive in the thread outlines the pros and cons to various parts from various sources, whats cheapest, what certain people suggest, etc. You can make a rebuild a lot cheaper or better if you piece together only the things you need from more than one source.

That's for you to decide....

You're not giving us much info here. The type of kit you need or what you need to replace is impossible for us to know. It'd be best to open up your block, take some measurements, and find out what exactly needs to be replaced. Combine that with what you want to do and you'll know.

This has been discussed extensively all over the forum.

Your a kook!! have you visited the archives at all?? I mean dDub and Karack put a lot of work into that thread (13B rebuild kit) and it is most comprehensive. All your questions are there for the taking.

RA took four days to return my call during the writing of that thread. Their basic parts kit is listed but not all the info. All the cost are there. There is another thread that specifically talks about Apex seals from last week. You need to search that thread and see what people are saying about the seals.

All Mazda OEM is best except for the inner water jacket o-rings.
I'm partial to the McMaster-Carr teflon / silicone o-rings for them inner water jacket o-rings.

What are you talking about? It has a list of the Basic and Master kit that shows what comes with it, and then it has links for the price for your year:

86-88 Basic Kit - US - $548
86-88 Master Kit US - $997
89-91 Basic Kit- US - $548
89-91 Master Kit US - $997
93-95 Basic Kit - US-$583
93-95 Master Kit - US- $1047
Single Rotor Basic Kit - US - $359
Single Rotor - Master Kit- US - $680

Then they do the same thing for the installation gaket sets and for the o-ring kits. What problem are you having?

If there is a difference in the two it would specify i.e. 13B or 13Bt or 13BTT If it just says 13B rebuild kit, it does't matter. Its for your motor. I believe that most the rebuild parts are the same. dDub uses the same parts as me yet he has a 13Bt S4. I used the same parts as dDub and I have a 13B S5. They put parts in for both motors whether you need them all or not.

What is wrong with people? Why do you try to prevoke fights in threads for no reason? Keep the thread clean please, and if you have a problem with someone take it to PM's.

Consider this a warning to the person I had to clean up, there was no reason to start any of that.
