Apex seal question

Lives on the Forum
Are you doing this in the exhaust port?
Or are you doing this with the rotors out of the engine?
How about carbon and crud impeding movement of the apex seals?

Welll.... lemme tell you from experience.. unless you got EVERY LITTLE BIT of crud out of the grooves.. its likely to crud up again very quickly...
It seems that Crud is magnetic to crud in a rotary..
Years ago, i did a quickie job and didn't clean the grooves out all that well.. I had to tear the motor back apart in about 10K miles cause it lost compression.. Found the fault to be one stuck apex seal.. Probably the same on that I had trouble with during assembly...
I make damn sure EVERYTHING is out of ALL the grooves now!!
