Hey guys. I have a rotary engine all digitalized, i want to animate an apex seal failure. Obviously none of us have watched it fail inside the chamber, so i need to reconstruct its demise from evidence.

If anyone has experience with teardowns and pics of apex seals dying, please post them here.

My team will put together an animation and ill post it here for approval and criticism. :-D

-how does the seal snap?
-causes (PREDETONATION FTW)
-path of travel

Here's an example from my RX8--detonation--broken apex seal and rear rotor damage.
