Paul,
This is Kyle from Mazdatrix.
Hope things are going well for you. I had a few questions, is this a good email to
reach you at?

Send me your news letter as well.
Thank Kyle Mohan

What can I help you with Kyle?

Paul Lamar

Paul,
good to hear from you.
I'm interested in trying the Teflon encapsulated water seals you use. Ive been
running my motors under some extreme conditions lately and would like a more robust
water seal.

Do you have any information i could look
 at?

-- Paul,
Thanks for the information.

I realized I still have a set you left me to try a few years ago, would they still be
good?

My application is a 93-95 RX-7 motor, turbo charged at 30psi with a 50 shot of NOS at
low RPM for spool up. Ive had a few issues with spot heating around the spark plugs
but was able to resolve it with the use of an electric water pump. My other concern
is these are lapped housings. Will the grove depth be an issue with the teflon o - rings?

-Kyle

Sure. Unlike the stock parts they can be reused :)
As long as they are only taking a few thou off the end housing that should be OK.
Make sure the slots are surgical cleaned :) Check the depth with vernier calipers.

What you want is a thermal couple in the rotor housing near the lower plug.
Keep it below 500 F.
