BC 3 peice apex seals ok for aux 1/2 bridge?

so im planning to bridge only my 5th and 6th ports, and i have 3 peice seals, so does anyone know if it would work? Cuz im worried it might get caught on the bridge and snap

Also what size secondary injectors should i get? would 550's do it?

thanks

You're supposed to flip them around for the rear rotor.

Whether only bridging the aux ports instead of doing all four secondaries is a good idea is a different matter.

hmmm so if both corner peices are against the int iron, would it be possible that the lower apex seal move out towards the side iron? Cuz im worried that it might get caught cuz i have 3 peice seals

and im planning to make it only the aux ports bridged so that i can at least leave em closed for fuel economy

thanks

I would spring the extra $ for new 2 piece seals, the 3 piece suck and you really should ditch them.

That said, it probably shouldn't fall out but depending on where your corner seal is as it crosses the bridge...

The bridges will still be there. It won't matter.

And really, you can get good fuel economy with a bridge...
