it doesnt matter how much miles there are on it
the seals are worn in for the other housings...
if he is goign to spend a bunch of money on the engine, might as well shell out another 300??????????????????

that totally escaped my mind. anyone have any recommendations on 2mm seals? Never seen any for 300, they usually are around 500 from what i can tell.
edit: oops didnt see hondahater's post. are the RA ones good?
Also, anyone reccomend a shop in the SoCal area that laps irons? I'm sure my irons are fine, just want to be prepared if they are damaged.

where the apex seals new the first time? if so they should still be in spec. use a micrometer to make sure and what i'd do if reusing them would be to keep them in the same rotors, same grooves they started out in. this is one of those where u could go either way, but with new housings, it just might be a good idea to go with new seals and keep the others for spares provided they're in spec cause ya never know what might happen down the road. good luck.
