fd3typer2

Hi.

Can anyone confirm whether these seals are the correct ones for a 3rd gen? I am concerned becacuse although my ones broke due to my own misjudgements, I have the same ones in another FD and would like to make absolutely sure that they are not a weak link in any way.

My previous apex seals were of the 2 piece kind, but I was supplied these from a supposed rotary expert. Are these not FC seals by any chance? I ask this because he gave me an FC gasket kit instead of the FD gasket kit I asked for.

Here are the apex seals....:

I don't know what year mazda went from a 3pc seal to a 2pc seal, but all apex seals from 86-95 are the same. By that I mean they will all fit in the apex groove on any 86-95 rotor, whether is a 2pc or 3 pc seal.

Yeah, those are the correct seals; They're two-piece, correct? I call these style of seals Atkins seals (they make them or so I hear); I've used atkins seals in many a rebuild and have had excellent results with them. I've never ran them in a turbo car before though, but lots of people do and they say the seals work great.

You had a post about "look at my broken apex seals" I think; I can't remember if I replied to it or not, hehe. Either you've got a serrious boost issue, lubrication problem or your rotor apex grooves are warped.
