Can used side and corner seals be installed on a different rotor or different location on the same rotor than the one they came out of? If they are in spec of course. I know technically you're supposed to keep them matched up but that ship has sailed as I have these parts from a spare motor I took apart a few years back. Problem is I just threw them all in zip lock bags without marking them as at the time I thought "oh I won't need them I'll buy new ones at rebuild time". Well my motor is locked up and rebuild time didn't come at the best financial time. Also I built the motor in this one. It was my first build and iirc I clearanced the side seals on the loose side so the used ones I have may have tighter clearance if I can use them. Thanks.

 

As long as they are in spec, it doesn't matter. Used side seals don't often fit perfectly in other slot..you will probably have to clearance them or use them in other slots.

 

Yes, no problems as long as you can get decent clearance between side seals and corner seals, and as long as there's no damage/wear on the used seals.

 

Thanks. What about the oil control rings and springs, or is it best not to risk it on them. I will buy new oil seals for them.

 

Reuse metal rings and springs, replace rubber inserts.

 

Thanks.
