no point paying extra for cyro treating the OEM seals, all factory seal tip is already harden and that's all it needs (Mazda did explain why in one of their papers)

Again, Ceramics or OEM !

Yea I know they are heat treated and have harder tips, but the whole seal being cryo treated means I can run 50 psi of bewst.

an angry bird carburetor anytime! They are awesome........

On a little more serious note---with all the front bearing wear I have seen in multiple engines I do wonder some times if we may need some type of harmonic balancer?
