Simple Question

Not rebuilding my engine.. yet.. but I am trying to get familiar with the locations of all of the internal engine components. This is an excerpt from the Haynes Manual.


Remove all the corner seals, corner seal spring, side seal and side seal springs from the rear side of the rotor. Mazda has a special tray which holds all the seals and keeps them separated to prevent mistakes during reassembly. Each seal groove is marked with numbers near the grooves on the rotor face to prevent confusion.
Remove the two rubber seals, two O-rings or oil seal from the rear rotor housing. Remove the pressure regulator and the rear rotor housing side pieces.

"2 rubber seals" is referring to the inner and outer coolant seals, correct? Wheres the best place to buy a rebuild kit that will include the seals?

I think it's talking about the outer and inner water o-rings,.. its pretty unclear though. I'd reccomend getting one of the rebuild videos

buy your kit from Atkins or Mazda or a combo of the two. like get the Engine gaskets from Mazda and get your rotor kit from Atkins(get the rotor kit with the 3rd gen corner seals and 2 piece apex seals) either way your basically getting the same stuff just research and see what fits your budget.
