Sucks that you had to pull the motor apart so soon. Either building rotaries really is tough, or we are ALL cursed for mod'ing them.

After I got my car running well on the stock turbo, my side seals began to "shave" off a little. It seems that I got a bad batch of side seals and oil was burning through. This was probably 3000 miles into the new motor.

So it came apart. I had the new seals treated with this special treatment that strengthens them and fills in all the inconsistencies in the metal. Then put the motor back together.

Seems like there are always serious bumps in the road for us guys trying to go all out.

Glad to see your keeping with it.
