ive searched the internet as well as this site for information regarding using the rx8 corner seals with the metal insert plug on a streetported FD. Just wondering if its a good idea or not. Anyone with any info please feel free to interject here. I done expect any gains in performance. Just reliability.

 

Well I think this will be the shortest thread ever. Why I didn't just try it, Ill never know but It appears the metal plug doesn't allow the Apex seal to fit properly. The Apex seal is too long. So thanks but nevermind.

 

Renesis apex seals are not as tall as all the previous 13B engines.

 

Won't work. If you are looking for something stronger look into solid corner seals such as the ones made by Atkins. Stock corner seals are fine and seal best for most applications however.
