has anyone besides felix wankel had problems with them

 

Nope mine work fine.

 

we think he just pinched them during assembly. It's easy to lose track of the o-ring on the middle iron when it faces downward.

 

1K + and no problems here.

 

Yep, which can happen to any brand of coolant seal if you're not careful.

 

There's nothing wrong with the seals damnit!

 

how many mile do each of you guys have on the RA kits and are you running higher boost I heard they are horrible for High boost like 10-15 psi

 

I have 3,000 miles on my seals from RA

 

but what about higher boost

 

I am running 7 to 10.... I have the latest batch of apex seals

 

I ordered mine this tuesday how long did it take for you to get yours becasue I cant wait
I ordered the oring kit and the gasket kit and the basic overhual kit at the same time

 

Those seals suck!! They are the worst and those that use them suck as well!!!





J/K I just wanted to keep your blood from coagulating on a Wednesday night. I would ahve run them had they been easier to buy from....and by that. I was trying to call and we played phone tag and I then I was at the Cherry Exit on the 405 in Long Beach so I pulled off and went into Mazdatrix.........parts bought.

 

i put 2000 on mine before lost a side seal, but they worked great that whole time.
Now im using mazdatrix and i got 1000 on those and they working great also.

 

has anyone else lost a side seal with the RA KIT?

 

side seals usually only fail due to improper installations, coolant seals usually fail due to improper installations or lack of inspection for other possible causes of future failure(coolant seal wall thickness), apex seals usually fail due to improper tuning. RA apex seal springs are known to have issues but commonly only fail with improper tuning.


i'm tired of all these BS posts of people bashing on manufacturers...

 

well I talked to ra and they said if I was going to run higher boost to buy race springs are they talking about the corner seal race spring

 

apex seal springs.

 

I wasnt bashing any manufactures!!! as for my side seal failure, im still using my RA seals and they work great. i truthfully dont know why my side seal went, it ran fine for a 1k break in, but once i started boosting my e6x was going crazy with break up and maybe detonation. i still dont understand why i lost a side seal. all other seals were fine.

 

not you, people in general, i have seen many threads like this go into the toilet because people blamed their problems on parts not themselves.

 

oh, my bad then. lol

 

Yep

Isn't the bashing bandwagon great?

 

Did you reuse your side seals or were they brand new in the rebuild?

 

I think you ordered too much. If I am not mistaken, the o-ring kit comes included with the basic overhaul kit

 

they were brand new on my first motor, now im reusing the same ones, i just replaced the busted one.

 

You should use oem apex seal springs with the RA apex seals. I have 7k on a motor with the RA seals, sees 14psi almost as many times as it has miles.
