uh o i might have fubared my rebuild!
do the locations of the side seals realy matter for one rotor to another? i forgot to label them when i took them out so do i need to order a new set or can u just use the ones i have in probably not the same spots?
P.S. i lost 2 andbroke 1 so im down 3 any ways |
Ideally, you should put them back in the same place you got them from. However, if they are still in spec in another groove, then that's fine as well.

ditto what Aaron said.

Side bar....
How do you like that Evans? James |
well thanks 4 letting me know on the side seals i was really worried. but i gess i will have to order 3 new ones as it is since i lost/broke them.
my mom is only letting me order certin parts at a time about 200 worth per order so do you guys (and girls) think that these side seals along with some porting templates, and a thermal pellete as a good purchase for the first one? i have everything else orginised out just the side seals i messed up on. the evans i love just the fact that i never have to change it again is great. my can actually runs cooler now than it was (thank god) with the exception or when i turn on my ac.... that always makes it run hoter than it schould. |
sup
ok same boat here kinda, i lost 1, found someone on here that sent me 2 USED side seals for 8 bux...and what other rebuild parts do you have as of right now? did u blow an apex seal like i did?
|
no i didnt. the engine was running when i took it out of my parts car and the engine in my car runs to. im just doing this for fun cuz its summer and i like to have a summer project when im not in school lol. this rebuild is just for fun and a little more power out of some bigger ports.

Side seal wear is nil. After 186K on my OEM ones, I measured something like .03 mils of wear. Amazing, I wish our apex's wore like that, lol...
Moral of the story, used ones are probably A-OK. The thing you want to watch for is the side seal-to-corner seal gaps when reinstalling everything, but I bet you already knew that :) |
