when you have the engine back together, get some spare heater hose and radiator hose and find something to plug the ends with. block off all the coolant ports and rent a cooling system pressure tester and fill the system with straight water and pump it up to 13lbs with the spark plugs removed and inspect for pressure drops/leaks.

as i recall the specs for the side seal clearance is .02"- .016".
Some people actually reccomend a higher clearance for turbo motors...
Sorry to hear of your bad luck.. I too have had bad luck with cars recently. Almost makes me want to give up and get something reliable.

well you are posting your specs in inches while measuring in millimeters, are you sure you are reading things correctly?
read things in 1 spec, i suggest using millimeters, it is what i use.
spec is .05-.15mm side seal to corner seal gap.
i do not believe this is your problem area.
since i have no clue what the original problem is i can't guess as to where to look.

yeah man, dont worry about it... i think you've had about every problem possible with a rebuild by now, so this build should have all the bases covered. i actually used the wrong RTV for my first rebuild and it had oil seeps all over the damn place...
and damn, you weren't kiddin about that blow-by. that rear rotor looks sickening at the corners.
come to think of it, i reused my sideseals and didnt check the tolerances, but they were DAMN close to touching the corners and moved freely so i didnt bother measuring them.
