Is this an inner or outer seal? What brand? I messed up a Rotary Aviation outer coolant seal during my build. I just went to the Mazda dealership and picked up a single OEM one to replace it.

The inner seal is the combustion seal and you can prob buy a single from mazda. I wouldn't use hondabond or anything like that. Its not a waterneck that can be easily changed if it leaks.
