An argument for tracking used seal location

not really sure what the question is, but i do try to keep each seal in its original spot. i'm not sure how important it really is, but it IS a good practice. now that the k2rd stuff is unpacked i even have a Mazda seal case to do it with.

part II is that with side seals you want it as tight as you can get it without binding, which is closer to .002" a turbo can be .0025" the .010" mazda spec is WAY out there....

part III along with the seal case, and some pickiness about the seal clearances the next step is the engine build sheet. our piston engine rebuilder gave us a really nice sheet that described the original measurements, the machining step, and then the final measurement. i thought it was really nice.
