anyone here with some insight?

It's far from ideal to have stock renesis apex seals travel over peripheral ports. The metal plugs shouldn't touch the irons.

You also would want to avoid putting non-renesis rotors into a renesis due to seal vs port locations.

All the above have been done but are not smart or suggested.
