apex seal reversal...

sen2two · 07-22-2009, 02:42 AM

im doing a large bridge on a 6 port to where i have to cut the rotor housings to let the "eyebrow" be fully open to flow. and doing this on stock mazda 3 piece seals. but i am not going to bridge the center iron. just a street port.

ive seen people install the apex seals with the 3rd small corner piece both towards the center iron. in doing this so the bridge dosnt swallow the apex seal piece. but im unsure if theres a special way to do this. i always build my motors from the front rotor up. this would mean the front rotor has the 3rd piece towards the center iror, but the rear towards the rear iron.

im thinking add a little extra vasoline to make it stick as i lower the rotor in realllyyyy carefully... any tips here?
