NRS ceramic corner seals

Yah, I was planning to get the motor rebuilt over the winter but my builder went to Florida for ~3 weeks. Also, was talking to an RX-8 owner who wanted to rebuild his engine with ceramic 2-piece 3mm seals (which is the reason for my questions in the other thread). So I guess that would account for both and I should order soon before someone else does. What is the current pricing on the seals with springs? Would it be cheaper to get it through my builder ^_^

I'd be interested to help out in testing if I can. Dave from Mazdee's is the one who builds my motors and from our talks you guys know each other somewhat well. So when we open up motors, we could relay any particular information your looking for.

The 32,000 km were put on in about a year so both Dave and I are very interested in what the internals of the motor look like with the ceramic seals considering I've been running 16-17 PSi (pump gas) on the track for 30 minutes sessions with 1850*F EGT's, over 15 track days this season, and the later ones were at 20 PSi with water injection and a touch of meth occasionally. Also, drove the car down to the deals gap in North Carolina and then to Florida so its had lots of long drives. Also, ran exclusively on the OMP only and only added some unmetered amounts of 2-stroke into the gas for track days.
