Apex Seal review

I'm rebuilding my 13b and I'm looking for some opinions on who makes a quality apex seal.

Who's seals should I go with? Atkins? Rotary Aviation? Racing Beat? Does cryo treatment really offer any significant improvement in durability?

I'm using cast iron seals, nothing exotic like ceramic or carbon and I'm keeping the cost down on this build and limiting it to a basic rebuild with minor porting.

I would appreciate any advice from people who have tried different seals.


Thanks guys,

Evan

A lot of us just use stock seals. They are proven to work well and fit perfectly.

That said, you may want to search for past discussions on these other seals. From what I have casually read of the various times this conversation comes up, they have their pros/cons. Some have had bad experiences, some good.
