Don't put vaseline on water seals during assembly unless you are going to put everything together very quickly. Use Crisco (the white stuff in the blue tin), it won't make them expand like that. See this video: http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.c...ty_water_seals . you don't really need a syringe to apply it. wipe off the excess

You will need to clearance the new side seal(s). see this video http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.c...ing_Side_Seals

well half of the motor is together i used vaseline i think as long as it stays together it should be fine the reason this one stretched is cause i popped the rotor housing off to put some not hardening sealent around the bottom dowels to prevent oil leaking and that one came out the other should be fine i hope x_x
