I've been watching Bruce Turrentine's 13B rebuild tape and I've got a few
questions about re-using various seals. My engine is a 13BREW, which I am
going to put 88-91 NA rotors in. Do I need to go with all new apex , side and
corner seals, or can I re-use some of the old seals. And, for the thousandth
time, what is a good source of the various o-rings used in the re-build.

Specifically, the side oil o-rings from Hayes are more expensive than others
that some people here have mentioned, so what is the source and the part
numbers of these things?
Thanks for suffering through these questions yet again.

I'll let Bruce answer that.

I'll have to search the CD again for the sizes  Brian. Later.
http://www.creavey.com is the source of Teflon encapsulated silicone 
O-rings however.

They are cheaper than the stock Mazda oil seal O-rings and higher
temp. Also send email to Dave Lemon at Mazdatrix and see if he is carrying
them yet.

Chuck, did you get your new engine back together with these TES O-rings yet?
