Here is the results of my seal labeling system. It takes time
but I think it is worth it. Mazda wants about $800 for a complete
set of seals. I think most engines don't really need new seals
if the rotor housing and side housings are in half way decent shape.
The seals are worn in to fit the housings.
Cleaning the crud out of the engine and reinstalling the seals
in the original place ought to work fine. Assuming everything is 
within wear limits of course.

I need to make a few changes in the labels as it seems to be best to 
turn the rotors over to get the seals out of the front faces.

BTW an exacto knife with a triangular blade is handy for getting the
side seal springs out. These are about the size of a curly horse hair. Also 
a set of jewelers screw drivers helps get the oil seal rings out.
