Would Mazda use an oil pan gasket......
.......when they built the motor from the factory??? If I tore down my motor and it had the grey RTV on the pan and no gasket at all, does that mean that my motor had been rebuilt once before???

Clearances of apex seals or other hard seals, like if they're almost brand new they'll be very well within spec. Or very little carbon buildup on the rotors, not like caked on. If it's ported then it's probably been rebuilt, or say if you're NA and the diffusers are gone or you're using TII sleeves, stuff like that.

^ well there ya go. Kevin, Why are you still up?? Its 1:00am your time.
I did use the digital calipers ($15 on sale at Harbor Freight) I was trying to determine if I could reuse the old apex seals in a moment of Tightasseness. I soon came to my senses.

Just say no to reused apex seals.

I heard that...(mixing the seals from one rotor to another)..I think on the Turrington video. But by the time I heard it I had all the seals in one pile and had been using one to scrape carbon out of the groves. (The apex seal was the single most used tool while doing the short block)
Like I said when I saw the price of new ones I got titas real bad.
