If you look closely at your excellent pictures of the plug openings you can see that both are polished from being raised.

I always thought that the exhaust port dynamics was what cause this kinda wear on the apex seal?

It could be that too Ted, especially without the proper bevel. But if you examine the wear around the exhaust port and there is none then it is the hump.

I guess we need the RX8 people to verify this.
