Rusty and Ed got what - 100 hrs or so?  Rusty's seals were worn, the slots wallowed out beyond specs, Ed's slots wallowed out beyond specs, etc.  Granted  both engines were built from cores, but didn't both have a pretty good handle on "where those things had been"?   
 
Hi Jim,
 
Just need to correct a few facts.  My engine was all new.  No used parts at all.  The apex slots in the rotors are still just like new, but the Hurley apex seal was considerably worn on the sides.  Maybe the slots were too tight?  
 
Rusty
