Paul,

What do you know about these guys?

They offer aluminum housings and P-Port rotor housings.

First I have never heard of them. I would not use their apex seals as they sound like
steel. Steel is OK for drag racing engines but not for long term uses. It damages the
expensive rotor housing right from the start.

I would only use the stock Mazda cast iron seals or Iannetti ceramic seals.
The Iannetti ceramic apex seals are also extremely resistant to detonation so there
is no need for steel.

The aluminum end housings look like Racing Beat's.
The 2 piece 3 rotor aluminum center housing looks like a good idea.

The p-port rotor housings are twice the cost of the SS tube welded in variety.
Those rotor housings are imported from Australia.

Also Canada does have some strange product liability laws so it is frequently
problematic doing biz with companies in Canada. Buy with credit cards so if you have
a problem you can dispute the payment with the credit card company within 30 days.
