3rd Gen Corner seal question...
 
I'm rebuilding a third gen engine... after I put in the first three corner seals in the front of the front rotor, put the front housing on, I noticed the service manual said to put the chamferred side down on the corner seals... so I looked closely at the corner seals and it does have a very very slight chamfer on one side... so I installed all 9 of the rest of the corner seals correctly... not sure if I got the first 3 in the right way by chance or not... anybody know if installing the corner seals with the chamfer side up is ok? Thanks for your help...

i dont think it makes a noticable difference, we've built plenty of motor and never knew about this, they run fine

We've usually replaced just the rubber plugs on rebuilds.&nbsp These things just don't wear at all.&nbsp It's obvious which side should go in first when they are used. :)
