^ Of course how can it spin? Shouldn't the Apex seal keep it aligned?

 

exactly, it cant spin. The apex seal is set in there with the engine facing the way that that hole is on the solid end of my 2 piece apex seal. the corner piece end is on the complete end.

just checked endplay its good, just checked cooling system and its good. now I just need a stupid ******* teflon o-ring for the front cover!!!!


arrrrgh!

 

durr I didn't think of that. Yeah, I'd say go for it. Just don't blame us if it doesn't work. **** happens, and you reap what you sow. So I mean if you're not comfortable with it, you'll rest easier knowing you replaced the rotor. If you are and it works out, more power to you.

 

I hate to thread bump buuuut

its been over 1 year and still running strong lol

 

If 85 psi is strong haha

Sorry buddy, I had to

 

it only made 100 psi to begin with

 

bump!update!

3 years later, engine still runs

 

zombie bump! Just pulled the engine over the weekend and the hole is still the same size.

 

Have a similar casting defect in mine. I decided to use it so I'm crossing my fingers.

sure its not ideal but it worked fine. You should be okay.

 

Is that on the rear side where the triangle piece goes (if using three piece seals)? Could it be caused by one of the corners of said piece?

 

Good thing that spring didn't twist into that hole, I have been worried these past 4 years!
