AJUSA engine gasket kit
 
Hello!
I'm a beginner in the rotary theme and trying to rebuild two engines (192hp and 231hp).
So, I've purchased full gasket kit AJUSA, but I don't know nothing about quality level. Does anybody had experience with products of that brand?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

The main question is about coolant seals for housings. Originally they are with some kind of heat protection (metal or plastic from both sides of rubber.

But AJUSA seals are without them, just rubber.

Is it OK or better to purchase Mazda OEM?

Just for information, answer from the manufacturer:
"We know the raw material of the OEM seals is different to AJUSA ones. We noticed there were high performance manufacturers that use viton to manufacture this seals. Then we decided to test these seals manufactured by AJUSA in a Mazda RX8 in our dynamometer test bench and after 20.000 km we concluded there were not leakages or problems with the engine."
