Although it was expensive, the new port job barely enlarged any of the ports, so it is very mild.  And on this engine I am going with Tracy's 2-piece seals.  Thanks Lynn.

A friend who should have known better  installed the three piece seals in two race engines, and blew them up back to back on the same weekend.
 
The inner piece can slip out into the Bridgeport and get sheared off.   Takes out the iron, rotor, and housing. Ouch!!!
