Why Apex Seals Fail

that very well could be. next time you have some used housings handy, take a straight edge and lay it across the surface, its above the spark plugs that seems to do the worst.

i did build a couple of motors with a stock diameter stud kit, and i was told to tighten it to 50lbs, but i think this is actually bad. it also certainly didn't solve the actual problem which was stock ecu/injectors with a street port and big turbo! or more correctly the owner.

after thinking about it, i think the small diameter studs actually hurt more than they help. the studs DO NOT locate any of the housings any better than the stock bolts, plus #50lbs of torque the rotor housings probably ARE bowing, which is bad!
