rebuild kits
Hey guys getting ready to rebuild my 13b outta the gslse. What kits do you guys prefer? If the housings are bad its getting sent to goopy performance

welcome to the board. :)
i usually piece together what i need, so no preferred "kit". if you have a liberal amount of funds, then you can't really go wrong with OEM. however, you would then pretty much have to commit to using the whole kit or spend extra money in the areas where the kit may lack or you have a chance to substitute and save a few pennies - i'll use corner seal springs and oil seals as examples of each case, in that order. regardless of what you decide to do in terms of rebuild parts, don't actually buy anything until the engine is apart, cleaned and spec'd. |
That's the plan. Bringing it home from paint tonite then engine coming out this weekend to decide if the housings need to be resurfaced or not. From everything I've read it says to use a softer then OEM apex seal? Why is this?

well, i don't know what you read, but it's a good idea in your case because you're building an SE engine. hard parts are not as plentiful as Gen II engines and current prices are reflecting that. a softer seal will wear the sealing surface at a slower rate, theoretically extending it's life. so it your rotor housings turn out to be in good shape, a softer seal may be something you want to consider.

Thanks as always very helpful guys
