Hurley seals
i've heard that many rotary enthousiasts using the hurley racing apex seals.they seem to be stronger than stock and using stiffer springs with extra assist spring.that promises better sealing,especially in high boost.but,i'm afraid of wouldn't be gently to the rotor housing.what's your opinion and your expierence also for their corner seals?

For corner seals you might as well just use the OEM corner seals with FD springs. As far as the apex seals go, I've been wondering this myself without much luck!

1FastT2: what about the atkins 2 peice? I've never heard anything bad about them, and those 3 peice just scare me! And the FC springs are like a round peice of wire, while the FD springs are a thick metal spring that doesn't wear out as easily. You can view the pictures at www.mazdatrix.com I believe.

I've had quite alot of experiance with Hurley Apex tips.
They are not the best but what options have you got for the price?
I have built some very powerfull engines and used Hurley 2mm in them, They are alot softer than the stock ones.
The pro's are:
There 2 peice so you can run a half bridge,
There Cheap (compared to carbon or Ceramic)
Good sealing (good compresion)
Easy to get hold of
Never seem to do alot of damage when they go
The Con's are:
They tend to Chatter the Housings (only realy noticed on high hp on 40-50k engines)
The corners blow off very easly (even 3mm)
I have stuck to using Hurleys even though i dont realy rate them for the simple reason Hurley are based 60 miles away from me and there 2 peice.
I have used stock tips in a few engines and have never had one fail so i guess it speaks for its self.

anyway,the stock ones seem to be the best solution.
