This thread, (Why Apex Seals Fail) is a peek into one of the conclusions that we came too. We are already running engines with this cooling mod plus some others surmised from this and other tests.
Some think that this may be giving away too much valuable information. My thought is that it helps the whole rotary community.
What I have noticed is that individuals start using the info and forget to give credit to the originators. But that is life... you do what is right anyway.
Along that theme I would like to give credit to Carlos Lopez and Rick Engman for their thoughts on the subject. They are the community's Senior Rotary Advisors.

I have. I posted in that thread starting on page 2 and page 3. Namely heat transfer and material expansion rates (roughly quoting the math unless you place the free edge of the fin within 0.00076 in then you have nothing really worry about for interference issues).
