New Motor,Apex seals not seated right causing flooding?

Car will start up fine in the morning but after I turn off the engine and try starting it again it's flooded on the rear rotor.I just replaced the apex seals on the rear rotor so I'm thinking I didn't get the apex seals seated right?

The compression is perfect so not sure what's causing this??

Thanks

Apex seals don't give you gas.

What was wrong other than the seals needing time to seat?

I thought it kept getting flooded but it was trashed plugs.I changed the plug and everything is fine.....


Those mismatched hurley seals and mazda seals are doing great so far

Plan on cleaning plugs pretty often during the break-in.
