installing apex seals with broken end piece
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 ***, so any tip would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,

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.
it happens to me on my last build,i didnt scrape away the excess glue and what a pain in the *** 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
