Informative thread for a n00b like me. I always wondered about the positves vs. negatves of 3mm seals. Now I know.
One thing I can say is that the motor in my FD lasted 140K+ miles before I had it rebuilt...and it was still running fine. 2mm seals dealing with 10lbs of boost for 14 years with no problem, and I'm sure I'm one of many.

I would be interested to see what the seal design would be like if mazda had the budget to bring ceramic seals to production, with any possible size and design, assuming longevity, reliability and optimum sealing where equally weighted design goals.
