Greetings,

" kit that Tracy sells, so I'd get the other seals as well.  I guess the real question is weather I should keep up with the old seals at all. 
 
Tracy- Since it looks like you put these rebuild kits together from different suppliers, is it possible to get a kit with the new type apex seals in it?

Just my 0.02 worth, Rusty, but if you are thinking of putting it in an aircraft then while apart, I would replace all the seals.  Cost a bit more but worth if in my opinion.  On the otherhand if going into a car, I'd probably reuse the seals if well within specs.
