I will be getting the rotaryaviation overhaul kit with the RA super seals and springs after the irons come back in. Does anyone have a recommendation on what solvent will be best to use for cleaning the irons and housings?

I am having a bitch breaking in those RA super seals. There still is very little data using them on the RX-8 for a daily driver I would recommend sticking with OEM apex seals. Unless you plan on going FI on this build?

If you do go with the RA seals you will want to superglue the top piece together they are shorter than OEM.
