Hi! Leon
You have a point regarding air filter use on water, when Mt
St Helen (Washington state) erupted the first time I had a shop
in Vancouver BC Canada (about 300miles away) even at that
distance, one of the fleets of vehicle that we serviced had to
have the air filters replaced every second day( even a week the
eruption).
I made the crack about no need for an air filter for
a float plane in Canada, but actually much of the time float
planes are started on the lake shores with the engine above the
ground instead of the water. The other thing about air filters
on an airplane, an alternate air source (like a slightly spring
loaded flat) should be supplied ( in a float plane case , water
could splash onto the element & freeze solid at altitude,
blocking air to the intake). On the rotor apex seal subject, I
agree with you regarding the amount of wear on the rotor
seal slot & seal has to be a lot more than Ed's to
spit out the seals. I drove my used engine supplier
nuts yesterday, measured 6 different rotors
& all were from 2.13 to 2.28 mm, he old me they use these
rotors regularly for a long time & never had a problem. Mine
are 2.17 to 2.26mm, So I guess I'l have to buy new rotors.
