So I thought I was being smart going from the oem FC front and rear stationary gears, to rx8 front and rear. However even though I sealed the faces with RTV, they are still leaking
I know people have found success machining a lip into the rear iron, however with the engine already installed, this would prove to be annoying.
Has anyone found success in machining a lip into the rx8 stat gear instead of the iron?
I really want the car to stop leaking :’(
I also daily my FC so in and out of the shop solutions are ideal.
thanks guys!

 

I think Mazdatrix has what you are looking for
STATIONARY GEAR 13B REAR, HARDENED, 360° OIL FEED BEARING 76-95 - Mazdatrix
They don't recommend that one with an FC eccentric shaft though. I guess if your bearing is sized right you could swap it into the above gear, or use this one they recommend.
STATIONARY GEAR 13B REAR, HARDENED, 360° MULTI-WINDOW BEARING 76-95 - Mazdatrix

 

I do have an Rx8 E-shaft in the car if that changes anything.

 

It allows you to use this one
STATIONARY GEAR 13B REAR, HARDENED, 360° OIL FEED BEARING 76-95 - Mazdatrix
which uses the stock Rx-8 bearing and is the cheaper of the two I posted earlier.

 

Never had an issue with leaking when using RTV 'Right Stuff' on the flange of the RX8 stat gear.
