I just
now removed the remaining apex seals from the failed rotor, they both broke in
half getting them out. They are the one piece spring style. I can't find any
record of the group buy, but they must have been Hurley
seals.
The
good rotor has two springs, so they must be the Mazdatrix seals. I reported
before that the good rotor with the new rotor housing had chatter marks as well,
they are not too bad after 150 hours but may not have lasted another 150
hours.
The
free height on the one piece spring measured .195" which is within Mazda limits,
does anyone know if the limit is different for the one piece
spring?
Cary,
I normally cruise between 5700 and 6000 RPM, but usually lower if just flying
around locally. I don't have a scale that would measure seal
weights.
Thanks, everyone for helping sort this out.

Chuck,Tracy and all,
I also was in the group buy of Hurley
Seals in 2002........We had a choice of
Racing seals (two springs) or the so called Long Life seal (one
spring).........Do you
recall which you have Chuck ? The Racing seal was more
expensive........

One more question Chuck, Were the apex seals you were using
single or dual spring type? This would help identify the
original source. Hurley seals use a single spring while Atkins seals
use dual springs (stock Mazda type).

Hi Chuck;
A couple more questions.
Did you
typically cruise at 6000rpm for most of the hours? other ranges?
Are
the apex seal springs still in spec?
Do you have a gram scale to weight
the seals? someone might be able to
identify them that
way?
Thanks
Cary
