Stock 2-piece Apex Seals & Springs - Useable and will reuse
Stock Side seals and springs - Useable and will re-use
Stock Corner seals - Meh... they look ok at best. I'll probably snatch those from my coupe rotors
Oil Control rings and O-rings. Looked awesome and the rings feel brandy new. Re-using those.
I decided that I'm going to rock some S4 N/A rotors becuase I want to keep the stock S4 flywheel. The counterweights are the same so the engine will be balanced. Tomorrow Chris (our badass engine builder) and I are going to go through the stock of rotors we have and find the best looking ones. Not caring about bearings because we have a damn nice set of bearings waiting in the freezer we can press in if we need to. I have brand new main bearings in the fridge waiting to be pressed in.
So tomorrow I need to find rotors and get the bearings dealt with. I also need to press in the main bearings. Mic out the e-shaft. Go through about 50 side seals and hope I can find 12 that get me to min Mazda spec... If not I have 14 new ones sitting in a box that were bought for the coupe, I can snag those if need be because that engine ain't going back together soon and order new ones when need be. Paint the steels and maybe repaint the housings/front cover. Need to see how the color scheme looks after the steels are painted. Fun times ahead for tomorrow!
