Zero Clearance Side Seals

I cut each side seal to the specific rotor location. Unfortunately each rotor corner is slightly different. I then rock the apex seal to check for binding of the side seal. If any is found I increase the cut on that side.

One advantage I noticed was that on final assembly the apex seal always slides in fully. It is perfectly aligned. No fishing with a pick to straighten the lower corner seal position!
