installing apex seals with broken end piece
 

I had to take me newly built engine (13B-REW) apart again after I found a small water leak.

It turned out to be a pinched outher water seal bewteenw front rotor housing and center plate.

I also found all my apex seals with broken end pieces (I turned the engine a few times to check compression).

I know that putting them back in will be a pain in the ass, so any tip would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance,

super glue the seals.

degrease the seals, super glue them, let it take a set. after it dries, use a razor blade to scrape away the excess glue that bled out the sides, otherwise you'll have issues with the apex seal binding on the corner seal during install.

sweet, thanks a lot guys... what would I do without this board:D

it happens to me on my last build,i didnt scrape away the excess glue and what a pain in the ass to to get them in place,being a HB motor(installing seals with the small piece facing the center iron)didnt help at all neither
