Pulled from Mazdatrix who actually recommend the Renesis stationary gears. They are already hardend.
"If using the RX8 rear gear in an earlier 13b engine, you must add sealant where the rear gear o-ring WOULD be. There is no groove to hold the o-ring because the Renesis engine mounts the o-ring in the side housing rather than on the gear. We recommend using Hylomar, but a THIN layer of silicone sealant will also suffice."
The 3 window bearing IMO opinion is just as good as the REW multi window.
