Old thread I know......
but,
Has anybody tried the ALS seals on a street car?
I'm really curious on how driveability is...
It seems people only use these for track cars,
how about cold starts, housing wear?
or even throwing meth injection into the mix.

Here are some pics of my engine after breakdown. It still ran fine, no compression problems at all, but had a coolant seal leak. 70k rough miles on Rotary Aviation classic seals, take a look at the housings:

One of the better examples of RA seals after long term use.
I've seen many others not make it a 1/4 of that mileage and with a lot worse ware on the housings.
It seems it's a hit and miss with those seals.

that seems to me like a combination of a bad oil injection pump pumping synyectic oil into the combustion chambers , bad combination

...just looking for a good, long lasting, not-housing-destroying seal that can handle a streetported, single-turboed weekend-driven RX... lol ;-)

...these are ALS seals, afaik metal, (and i would use only NRS when it comes to ceramic).
