There are some very interesting comments there.

Indeed, worth the read. Funny how the Apex seal myth is still out there. I think it was the early Mazdas that had the Apex wear issue. It's not an issue for the RE5, but the mud from Mazda still sticks.

Nearly every time I'm at a display someone will ask the seal wear question. I always answer with "I know a bloke who got 200,000 MILES out of one engine......."
