yea, make sure your getting fuel and air as well before you decide to rebuild, otherwise there is an aviation site that has 12a rebuild kits for 550$ and thats the cheapest i've found them...

the mazda 12a seals have been updated to the Rx-8 technology. They are freaking sweet. here is a pic:

You can't see it, but the surface that meets the aluminum housing is specially textured, I am assuming for break in. The seal itself is electron beam treated or something like that. The small part of the apex seal (the seal corner piece) is of a different material. Also, the bottom of the seal has special marks in it, was told the reason but can't remember.
