Been running my ALS seals hard since day one. Hot starts are great, vacumn is awesome and ive been running 19psi on pump gas for atleast a year, now im on 100 octane and running 25psi and about 550hp.

I love these seals.

Johnathan at Eccentric performance shipped mines right away. I had them 2 days later. I had done a fresh rebuild and my compression on a motor that wasn't broken in was 120psi . I later opened it due to a side seal failure and lost a corner piece.

Johnathan at eccentric performance shipped me a corner piece talk about customer service A+++++ hit up ALLROTOR93 for your apex seal fix

My personal fd is pulling 16" at an 850rpm idle with a small street port after 14k miles with ALS seals. When I built the engine(customer's at the time) it was the original engine with 63k miles on it. So housings now have 77k on them. The housings were in great shape though for 63k miles.

The first 13k miles on the current rebuild with ALS seals was done by the customer. I told him to pre-mix but have no clue how often he did. I premix 6-8 ounces with every fill up plus still have the omp. I now know of several guys in the 15-20k range with no issues. Ive seen one negative thing ever posted on these seals, and that was by a shop that runs another "unbreakable" seal that is known to wear housings. That shop is also the recommended engine builder by the manufacturer of the other "unbreakable" seal.

My car still pulls the same vacuum it did the day I fired it up. No way I will use any other seals in my motor... 4 years and counting.

i have been debating on a choice of apex seals for the motor i am currently running. will be seeing around 9-10k shifts on a 4 port bridge port with injected itb's. of course ceramics was the first thought but out of my price range and can't afford to keep rebuilding with carbons and hoping it lasts long enough. would anyone recommend these seals for a high revving na 13b? i love the unbreakable aspect. i've taken apart a few motors that had the original 3 piece seals and have found destroyed rotors, housings and irons. i finally bought a running turbo motor from a friend to use as my bridge port motor to ensure that the internals were still good. '


does anyone have any experience revving these to 10k with any miles on them?

do these seals come as a one piece yet for our big port na motors or does everyone agree that 2 piece seals are ok for use in bridge ports (standard bridge as class rules). im really excited and if anyone has any experience i will be buying these!!!

when something goes wrong i want to only have to replace what failed, not what failed +rotor+housing+side plat+porting++++++


thanks guys

you WILL want a non metallic seal for your goals, there is no way around it.

either you will be chewing up housings with metallics, replacing carbons, or cleaning up and reassembling with ceramics. in the long run ceramics will save you money in an n/a application and require less teardowns.

Running over 600 RWHP @ 30 PSI on my original set...must have 7K or 8K on them and hundreds of 30+ PSI pulls.
One time I leaned out to 14:1 on E85 at 25 PSI and they held just fine.

Been running on mine for about a year and a half. I make 450whp at 18psi and have about 16k mikes on it. Still runs beautifully with no issues. I plan on upping the boost to 30psi once I get my fuel sorted out.
