really thats all the bigger they are, also how do they stay on to the rotor.
i'm going to soon be rebiulding my 13b. just wondering how long it takes? how hard it is to do? and if you need any speicl tools to do the rebuild? i have swaped and few engines and am a desect mechanic.

I would suggest you do a fair bit of reading up on the internal workings of a rotary before you go tearing yours down and rebuilding it.
You'll need some very fine measuring devices and a 54mm socket.. thats all i can think of off the top of my head special tool wise.

i now know where they are and how they fit, but now just wondering is their a spring behind the apex seal that pushes it forward for more compression.
