Paul,
The headers and intake tubes should be welded up in a couple of weeks, so
now I am looking for all of the pieces to rebuild the engine. Lynn mentioned
solid corner seals without rubber plugs.  They tend to last longer.  I
looked at Mazdatrix and they have one  for 3mm seals.  Would it be worth the
trouble to go to 3mm seals?  They also have a differnt corner seal sprig
that looks like a bent up flat washer.  Any good words or are these parts
all hype?

Thanks

I do not know very much about the subject of corner seals.
I do know the RX8 engine uses DLC Diamond Like Coating on the
corner seals. That is about it. I could be forgetting something
that was said years ago.

I would not do the 3 mm unless your apex seal slots are worn.
Do they pass the vertical apex seal wiggle test? If so I would
leave them alone. I ran across a technical letter recently in
my paper files by Dr. Francisco Iannette. I'll OCR it some day
and publish it. According Francisco silicon nitride apex seals
do not wear the slots I was amazed to find out. We are now
getting close to infinite life for the rotary :)
