housings>seals in my book.
a relatively mild FD shouldn't have any problem running over 100,000 miles. After that, replace seals and drive for another 50-75.
i'll sit this one out. I want a good seal so i will go 3 peice anyway.

Also, if you read their website, they tell you that the best results with these seals are with NEW rotor housings. I'd much rather blow up apex seals too, but when an apex seal DOES blow, it normally takes out the rotor housing anyways(except for the atkins seals).

any seal will work better with new housings.
I asked which series. I only knew up to 6.
When i took apart an engine i got from pineapple from a previous owner they used 3 peice..........
Musta been old stock.
this is the info i like to hear.......... never hear stuff like this and it's not often disscussed.
information is the key to a sound judgment and it seems i was lacking the full story.
thnx

Mazda determined that even though the 3 piece design sealed better at low RPM, the seals lost strength faster.
