George,

Now we need one of our Renesis engine builders to step up and prove

that the coolent seals fit their rotor housings.........Did you purchase TES

rotor seals from Creavey for your Renesis rotors ?

Lynn,

I would say my "O"rings fit pretty well and that's the Cosmo Rotor Housing - see photo.
