Is it worth going to 3mm apex seals?
Since I'm about to get a junk yard engine, I would like to replace the apex seals. Is it worth paying the $325 to get the 2 rotors milled to support 3mm? The engine wont see crazy driving, although I would like it to run low 13's in the quarter with just the addition of more boost/fuel.

I wouldn't. 3mm seals don't seal as well, and they really aren't going to save your ***. Their only real plus is that they are a **** hair more resistant to detonation.

They create higher levels of friction in the engine, and thus wear out more quickly.
