So far so good. Although quite often the side seals and springs can be re-used as well as oil control ring springs. The oil pressure regulator can be modded for higher pressure (saving you $95). I prefer sealant for the oil pan instead of a gasket. I use solid corner seals and fd springs and a bypass pellet. I prefer oem coolant seals and oil control o-rings. Hardened stationary gears are a good idea if you spend lots of time at the track. (Mazdatrix) Also try Pineapple Racing for a gasket set, they also have heavy-duty coolant seals if you want those. Mazdatrix sells a "generic" gasket set, not sure about the quality however. You will need injector o-rings, intake gaskets, rear gear o-ring, front & rear main oil seals, front cover o-ring/ gasket, oil filter stand o-rings, cas o-ring, all banjo bolt sealing washers, probably a few I'm forgetting, most of these come in a gasket set, just make sure with a checklist before ordering from someone.

I'm all about the atkins kit except for the viton oil control o-rings.. .OEM FTW on those. Everything else is real good though.
