hi all
what do you people say about atkin rotaries rebuild kits ...
what do you people recommend steel apex selas or ceramic seals ....

 

Atkins kits are decent...

Ceramic Seals on a Turbo 13B

Only use steel

 

What's wrong with ceramic seals, except that they are expensive? I would never use them, but many people do with sucess.

 

Ceramics are for motors that see a lots of power and abuse. The regualr seals work great on used housings. But if your using new housings use factory seals.

Atkins does make good seals I dont care whom disagrees.

 

I like Mazda OEM and use them in all my builds, including my own motor.

Ray Crowe at Malloy Mazda will ship overseas, you can reach him at hmkparts@aol.com

When it comes to engine internals, mazda has invested lots of time and cash into R&D.

I'm also interested in the NRS seals that glassman sells, rice racing is an advocate of them. If you have the money to spend, that might be an interesting alternative.

Agreed, Mazda internals all the way!!!

 

well for additional info my stock motor has ceramic seals....and do they have good prices or thy charge too much as the ceramic seals cost 1200

 

Ceramic seals are ok in NON-TURBO engines, just like 200 dollar 2mm seals it only takes one pin to break them,

How do you know that your ( Stock ) motor has ceramic seals?

 

My mistake .....my stock motor has mazda factory steel ones
but I am confused as i am getting a reuild done what should i do use ceramic or stee

 

Depends on how much money you have to spend. I've never installed ceramic seals in an engine, have always had great experiences with oem mazda seals
