As all of you know that getting things done on this motor takes a really long time like porting and almost took a month at mazdatrix. the thing is I bought an overhaul kit from Rotary Aviation and did not get to installing it till today. I broke a side seal because it was too wide to fit in the grooves because it was poorly machined. I'm about a week over their 60 day guarantee so does anybody know if they will replace these?

 

Call and ask them.

 

i already sent out an email to them explaining my situation. on their website they said they would be closed till the 27th so i wont be able to call till then so that is why i made this thread asking others experience with rotary aviation

 

All side seals will always be too long. If you file them down slowly you will be able to get them to the length needed

 

thanks for the info. pretty sure it'll fit now since i saw it in the manual after i broke two. what kind of file did you use because the manual says to use a dremel and i dont really want to get one.

 

I used a grinder, which allowed a little better control than a dremel and a lot quicker than a file in my case.

 

I use a grinder too. Be careful and go slow - because your going for between 0.1 and 0.4mm gap between the corner seal and side seal. Remember to take the burrs off the seals where you grind them too before you install them.

You need a feeler gauge for this job and lots of patience.
