Cool. Any place in Portland that can mill your rotors, or do you have a pre 86 motor?

the apex seals will be almost invincible but that just means they're gonna eat the housings when something goes wrong. i've seen it, it was pretty interesting. housings just got destroyed but the apex seals still looked great. if it's not one thing it's another lol.

Come on,you think a seal is just a seal ? Ceramics have better sealing from more sring pressure,wich increases torque and horspower,the wear is almost non existant.so you get longer engine life.so in an non turbo application,they are indestructable unless you don't clearance properly.

No, I don't think a seal is just a seal. No one ever said they were ceramic prior to this. As to them making any noticable power difference in a N/A application I am skepitcal. None the less I am interested to see what they can do in this mysterious "top secret build".

The ceramic material has many benefits and few drawbacks to its compatibility with the rotary engine. These seals are highly recommended for road racing and is purposeful for many types of drag racing. Street use is acceptable and for those who want the best, its advantages serve just as well for performance street use or everyday driving.
Some benefits to choosing Iannetti Seals are as follows:

Extremely lightweight. This helps reduce wear and creates a better seal at high RPM as a result to the seals being lightweight.
Disperse heat and maintains its ambient temperature dimension better than an alloy seal. This material has minimal growth and therefore retains a tight fitment between the rotor groove and the gap at the ends. They also will not transfer as much heat into the spring which in other cases causes flattening of the springs, resulting in lost compression and sealing.
Excellent durability and can withstand minor detonation.
These seals can be reused or re-radiuses if swapping out rotor housing.
Horsepower and torque gains can be noticed on a dynometer or ¼ mile times.
The only product whereby one can use a one piece design for strength and sealing.
Other benefits based on application.
