Who's O-Ring-Water Seal is better? Pineapple or Rotaryaviation?

Hey I am trying to figured out who has a better kit, PineappleRacing.com or Rotaryaviation.com, they both claim it's better than oem with teflon coating? Also pineapple claim that u can repoen the the engine and u can reuse they seals? Is this true?
Any input is gladly appericated.
Thanks,
Khris

i have RA Teflon encapsulated in my current engine ... has seen ~110 OIl temp and 105 water temp for 20-30 mins at the track ... and the engine now has ~ 5000km`s on it , they were a bit of a pain to install but after doing the first iron u get the hang of it ...

also forget about reusing seals as a criteria of choice ... if yu have an rx7 .. yur budget better not rest on 160 decision $

if i had to do it again ... id go with RA O ring kit ... again ...

I have done some research and it appears that I will be using pineapple racing HD seals. Thanks, for the input.
