Just got back from a trip to the Middle East – managed to catch a great little airshow in Al Ain, UAE (http://www.alainaerobaticshow.com/html/home.asp) while I was there – no rotaries however ☺.
But now – back to business…A couple of months ago I lost an apex seal because of a failed spark plug electrode casing (that’s the only plausible theory). At the time my daughter was living with us and I had no garage because it was full of her furniture. But now she’s gone and I’m back – so it’s time to rebuild.
The engine has less than 100hrs on it – (say 6000-10000 miles in car terms). And actually it has a lot less because Atkins rebuilt it about 30 hours ago because of low oil pressure - I'm just not sure whether he used all new seals when he did that.
Which leads me to the question - with those few hours on the engine - what seals does it make sense to replace?
Thanx,
