Kelly, I have used the TES O rings since 1998 for the inner coolant "O" rings.  I use the stock for the outer "O"rings and never had a failure there.  Used Vitron for the oil "O" rings - not certain that the TES are appropriate for the oil seal.  I would not rebuild a rotary without using the TES "O" rings for the inner coolant seal.  Do not see the need for them elsewhere.

Ed Anderson and Perry Mick,
         I have contacted Chuck Dunlap about his use of the TES O-rings in his
rotor oil seals..........He got the TES O-rings from Paul L. and the sizes were
what Paul called out at that time.......I am looking for further size and/or
operational info I can get from anyone using the TES O-rings in the rotor
seals........Chuck said that he thought that both of you were currently using
them in your engines........I would appreciate input you can give concerning
their use in your flying engines.........
       I recently shipped a 13B side housing to "Creavey Seal" to settle once
and for all the question of sizes for the coolent TES O-ring seals........ I know
that there is some question in the group as to the need for them particularly
the outer coolent seal as it does not see as much heat as the inner seal.......
      The choice as to the use of these seals is up to the individual........I just
want to make sure that the correct size information is available to all of the
Rotary group.........
     I now have correct size information for the coolent TES O-rings and the
last piece of the puzzle is verification of the rotor oil seal TES O-ring sizes !!
     All info to this point indicates that the oil seal sizes that Paul L. called
out are correct........When all is verified I will stick my neck out and publish
my findings !! FWIW
