Same for both really

Fence post bendy or shattering pottery apex seals or not, there is always a compromise or an excuse or both!@

Did anyone else catch that Lance is creating his own Apex Seals with IRP?

I agree. Every seal has its own pros and cons.
Goopy does this, als does that, such and such did this!!. We know of all the horror stories. I'm not looking for anymore horror stories personally. But I do want to hear the good testimonials. I want to hear cars running lean and the motor was saved by your seals, I want to hear the compression numbers these motors are getting, also want to hear about the long term testing, track cars, street cars, drag cars. Etc.

Here goes some more water injection mumbo jumbo bullsh*t. But oh no its ok to run a 50 50 methanol blend......
INJECTING WATER WILL NOT HURT A RUNNING ENGINE !

As for seal preferences that i can afford and have had no ill effects on high hp and na applications ove the last 10years and not one reported blown motor or warped apex seals CLASSIC RA'S are my choice as of right now.
Super seals are for drag motors that get torn down on a regular basis that of course wont show any signs of wear like most of the other manufacturers out there claiming the best by using drag cars as a poor example to make them look good.

Those better not be PRIVATE emails being posted...

Can anyone confirm?

Addendum...
Ok, I've found out where they came from...
Although the post is out there in public, I don't think that was the intention.
(Was this this originally posted on AusRotary - which does not allow Google [or any search engine] parse their threads?)

This is a formal warning to Barry Bordes - do NOT repost text that are private in nature.
This includes PM's, emails, or even anything that was not made for public consumption but "accidently" leaked by a third party.
This is considered very bad net etiquette and frowned upon.
PLEASE REREAD THE RULES OF CONDUCT POSTED AS A STICKIE.
There is grounds to INSTANT BAN you according to those guidelines.

Thread is being cleaned of all reference to such.

Might get banned but you can't just leave this here Ted its asking for signature status

I realize that there are some very concerned observers of recent events that happened in this thread...
Since the poster of the replies deleted the majority of the comments, I just followed-up and deleted all the reference to those deleted replies.

I understand that this can make this thread somewhat disjointed - see dates of posted replies - so, even the deletions are not perfect.

Just to keep this thread coherent, any specific replies to the drama should be redirected to that Money-Can't-Buy-You-Happiness thread...

Thank you for your cooperation.
