I was having starting problem after single turbo and microtech installation ad I thought it was flooding issue.

well after removing the ex-manifold I only found my coolant seal went again.
may be I put too much oil,wd-40,etc.. to engine may distorted coolant O-ring..

anyway good news i already pulled engine out and about open the engine always blown engine is new porting opportunity..
so should I go with half bridge?I have 60-1 turbo.

also I currently have early batch RA seal..well my compression is perfect about 120 psi but i keep hearing these seals had some quality issues.
should I get mazda seals?

good lesson though don't over do unflloding it may kill your engine.specialy for single turbo guys whel many fold is upward there is no way for fluid to run down..

 

Maybe your seals were miss installed ever think of that, meaning that the joint on the seal could have been installed in less than optimal area.

 

You think you blew a coolant seal by putting too much WD-40 into the engine to unflood it?... That is a new one to me. Soo the engine would actually flex instead of just hydrolock is what you are saying happened? Intresting and amusing.

Before you go and half bridge it,.. I would probably go and figure out what ACTUALLY caused the coolant seal to go. Just my 2 cents.

 

no I'm thinking tohse chemical can weaken the O rings specially parts cleaner.
well I really don't know what happened but engine was OK for last 3 years after last rebuilt and after flooding and deflooding coolant start comming out from ex post.
BTW I used RA coolant seal last time and this time I'll go with stock ones.
