just doin some research and saw that the atkins engines for the tII all come with 3mm seals, plus the 2 yr warranty!list price is 2100/550 core charge. sounds like a great deal to me!

yeah atkins is great.

but the effectiveness of 3mm seals is HIGHLY debatable.

i was talking to my builder yesterday (dropped off the engine). he told me that the 3mm seals wear down the housings faster.

i heard they dont seal as well, but are more reliable. if atkins and other building companies are now offering them with all engines, they must be ok, plus warranty is my key word!lol

After watching a rotary get rebuilt, I am NEVER paying anyone to do it for me again..

I don't think 3mm seals are worth it, I haven't seen any proof of them being better than regular seals

1 year warranty on all

1.5 years if he installs the engine as well
