rebuilding engine

[Huds1]

engine is now back from era after porting and ready to rebuilt , i just want to see peoples views on aftermarket water seals , atkins / pineapple or would you just go stock route ? , ported for bw s366 , goopy seals ? stock seals ? and best sources in uk currently , mainly need the water seals as no issues with compression and only 2000 ish miles since it was last built , so side seals etc still in tolerance or would you replace anyway whilst its all stripped down , any help appreciated

Goopy seem to be the most popular as they are the most forgiving. ( or that's how it was explained to me ).

Disclaimer: I've never built an engine so my opinion is probably dogshit but as you hadnt had any replies i thought id offer my 2p.

Would you go oem on the water seals ?

Mate tbh i didn't know there was much of an aftermarket choice for water seals other than atkins.

Me personally, i would go mazda, yes.
