What did you pay for the stock O-rings?

Hello Paul,
I paid $8.23 each for the original mazda inner oil control o-rings and
$15.86 each for the outer oil control o-rings.  That's $144.54 for the set
which I bought from MazdaTrix.  I still haven't gotten to the point of trying
the TES coolant 0-rings.   I'll try stretching them like you did when the
time comes.

Keep me posted !!!
Thanks,
Don Mitchell

Are the metal oil control rings part of a typical rebuild? At Mazdatrix's price of $50.82 a pair [$200 total], they would be nice to reuse. I don't have my manual handy - Is a spec given for them?

Yes there is a spec and it has to do with the width of the shinny part that
actually does the rubbing. I don't have it right at the moment however.
The drawback would be a bit more oil consumption.
