hi guys,
i have a problem and i need your help.
today i assembled an engine and i put a light coat of hylomar on the housings as you can see at the pics. of course i used hylomar also at the irons grooves to hold the orings .
the problem is that when i tighten the bolts some hylomar squized and found it way to the outside of the engine as you can see also at the pics.

the grooves hae i verylitle amount of hylomar , just to hold the seals. the hylomar that you see at the pics is from the housings.

i assumed that the same amount also squized at the inner side. is this enouth to make damage at the apex seals ?
i turned the engine by hand and with a small mirror and a light i looked inside the exaust port and in the rear rotor there was a small blob of hylomar concetrated an the corner of the apex seal. it is the size of the waterdrop 2-3mm diameter.
i do not know for the front rotor . i will check it tomorrow.

is this enouth to make a problem?
what should i do?
leave it and fire the engine? yes the hylomar is a nasty thing .now i know better.


can someon please advice?

thanks , i apreciate your help!

 

it's normal and nothing to worry about.

 

Karack thanks,
i have a few hours that searching the forum and i found bad and good things abbout hylomar .the think that scared me is that the hylomar stays like a sticky gel and it is build to withstand presures and temperatures in jet engines.
so i assume none wants a stuf like this in a delicate area like the apex seals.

thanks

i wish it will burn of finaly

 

hylomar will not damage it. it is melted away with heat. I use aviation high tack and the same thing as soon as it gets heat it melts/burns away no harm can be done.

 

thank guys!!
