What springs for RA apex seals
I have just ordered a rebuild kit which is using 2mm RA seals, from reading about the springs flattening out and others being used instead.
What options are there???

Change of plan, I'm going with the 3mm seals now. Getting them to swap them over. I havn't pulled the engine apart yet so dont know the condition of the rotors and 3mm will give me a little extra strength.
Since these are 1 piece seals, different springs are to be used. What are people using?? I know they are mazda OEM ones but I read somewhere they are from a different model.

anyone know how to properly heat treat the springs? i always use stock springs, and i've probably got 10 or 11 untouched sets of RA springs. might as well put them to use if i can.

Just got my 3mm seals threw today, I thought they were 1 piece seals but they are 2.
They use single springs so are "any pre-1986 13B engine ... just order for the 85 Rx-7 GSL-SE" springs still used???
