As for the Atkins seals... A good friend of mine refers to them as "fuses." Meaning that they usually let go before most of the other co's and when they do, they generally don't tear up the engine on their way out. I'd be curious as to what you find when you pull the thing apart. post pics, lots of them

On most parts of the map I definitely agree, 10s are too rich, but under boost I'd rather have 10 than 14 haha.

Some have been telling me to get RA seals this time, I might go ahead and do that even if these aren't bad. I guess a good thing about Atkins seals is if they don't tear up the engine when they break...trying to look on the bright side of all this haha. I'll post a lot of pics. I'm going to clean up the garage and work bench and start draining fluids tonight, tomorrow night I might start pulling.

No doubt... But the richest I run is 11.7:1 and generally keep it around 12.

I have the RA Super seals.... on the way back I hit something like 17:1 while @ 10lbs of boost... she dett'ed HARD and she's still ticking.

They each have thier benefits I suppose. From what I hear... the Atikins seals are gentle when they let go. So I'd be interested to see what your housings look like.

yes i det'd on RA classis seals multiple times when i was learning how to tune.. engine survived and when it finally did go it was coolant seal failure


things to do before DGRR2011..
found out my bb hybrid somehow blew out the front oil seal, ordered a new seal and backplate, and sent it off to gpopshop to fix a pre-turbine exhaust leak problem. also the power steering is leaking from somewhere. and need to get sunroof welded shut
