Alright....motor is stacked! Had a buddy assist yesterday and besides a couple hic-ups it went smooth for being my first solo build.
Had a couple corner peices break the super glue due to very small corner seal eyelet mis-alignment(to much petro and rotating the rotor once placed in the housing to check for binding ended up probably moving the eyelet ever so slightly). I DO HAVE TO SAY that Halomar is more of a bitch to apply then the pet jelly. I got a hang of applying the halomar after the intermediate housing but I think I got a tube of it that was too thick. Only thing I started to doubt myself on AFTER it was stacked was if I inserted the small apex seal srings in correctly. I did long springs first, then slid the apex/spring partailly down and then put the small spring in until it hit the bottom notch of apex seal. I used a flat tip jewelers screw driver to push the small spring down to ensure it was on the notch. Anyway, I don't know why I started to doubt myself BUT I had to get a dead rotor and rotor housing and put in a spare apex seal with spring to see what installing the small spring WRONG was like. Of course it went a hell of a lot deeper down if you missed the notch and overall reassured me I did it right. I also have 6 audibly even pulses when I spin the motor so that was reasurring. I am a pussy and worry too much anyhow. Brian, break in seems short compared to the 1500 mile recommendation. ![]() Thanks for the help Kyle! Update soon
