I was looking through my parts bin and I found an uncracked twin turbo
exhaust manifold that I will not be using. The vacuum actuator body is
damaged, but the rest is in good shape. Anybody interested?

Also, the question I asked in my last post- can I reuse some of the metal
seals- side seals, apex seals- I guess I can if the side play is o.k., and
they go back to the same spot that they came out of. Otherwise, there would
be problems with length, especially on the side seals. The problem is, I'm
almost positive that all the seals are in really good shape on this engine-
it was pulled out of a wreck, and shows good compression on all apex seals
when I pulled it through by hand. Inspection of the rotor housings through
the exhaust ports shows no detectable wear patterns. Thing is, since I want
to change the  turbo rotors for na rotors, the seals that are in there will
go with the turbo rotors, and Mazdatrix charges big $$$$ for a complete seal
set. If I can do an complete exchange with Hayes rotary down the street -i.e.
my rotors with all seals(and counterweights) for NA rotors with all seals and
counterweights, all will be well in my little world.  Otherwise, anyone have
any ideas?
