Supposedly the 3 mm don't seal the part the 2 mm do. So why not have the rotors milled for 3 mm and use seals that have a base/foot of 3 mm - as soon as they leave the rotor they tapper back to 2 mm for better sealing (smaller radius on top? Apex seals are radiused on the sealing side?) Just speculating as I have no experience with this. What causes the lesser sealing of the 3 mm? Less flex for the whole seal or the bigger radius?

Hi all,
 
would a 3 mm "Tracy-seal" that tappers off to 2 = mm have=20 any merrit?
Supposedly the 3 mm don't seal the part the 2 mm = do.
So why not have the rotors milled for 3 mm and = use seals=20 that have a base/foot of 3 mm - as soon as they leave the rotor they = tapper back=20 to 2 mm for better sealing (smaller radius on top? Apex seals are = radiused on=20 the sealing side?)
Just speculating as I have no experience with=20 this.
What causes the lesser sealing of the 3 mm? Less = flex for=20 the whole seal or the bigger radius? Or....?
