In mine they don't break, only warp... saved at LEAST one of my engines. As for chatter marks.... virtually none after 10k

Please understand, my post wasn't meant to contridict yours. I was writting it when yours was posted.

But, my "proof" is in the amount of RA supper seal'd engines I've disassembled in the past 12 years. I have YET to see one that would lead me to believe they are anything but junk, in the form of a "seal that wont break". Sure, they are tuff seals, but they will eat your engine from the inside out. Now, I will be honest when I say, that the 2mm varity usually don't do the severe damage. And in fact, may be considered by some to be "normal(ish)" wear marks. But the fact is, that both the 2mm and 3mm leave chatter marks every time.

I refuse to pay for, or suport a seal that does damage to your engine during its running life just because it's "un breakable".
