Rotary Seals???
I just got into the RX7 and I have been hearing people at my local race spot talking about Apex Seals.
Are these good seals?Are there better ones?Does the seals make the car more reliable?Tell me what you think or know about the seals.Also if rotary engines blow to quickly what goes on them?THANX

heelllooooo newbie 
but the apex seals do the same function that piston rings do... someone is bound to post that link to rotary engines illustrated.... i jus dont have it 
ooh and there are diff sizes... or i should say widths... 2mm and 3mm... also they come in ceramic if u got the big bucks
but as far as them being "apex" seals... its jus what they are called... because they are on the "apex" of the rotor
