apex seal reversal...

Regardless of what seal you use you need to glue the seals together. A little bit of super glue does the trick. It's how the new seals come from Mazda. As you torque the engine down you will hear snap, snap, snap as they come apart. Makes installation a lot easier and all but eliminates the chance of getting one of the pieces in there incorrectly. I like to lay a piece of aluminum foil over a piece of glass (very flat surface) and glue the seals together on that. Ensures the seals go together flat so there is no issue getting them in their slots and the foil keep the glue off the table.
