How have the stock clearences worked out for anyone with them? and problems at all? I saw the thread with the engraving on them and it kinda botherd me,.. just wondering if anyone has any other input on them.

I have a set (but not in a motor yet) and the quality looks good.



There is someone on the forum running them and he hasn't had any problems so far...



Pricewise- wow!

I've got 1500 trouble free miles on my S4 NA street ported engine, built with the rotary aviation seals. Did they raise the price yet? Mine were like $135 a set or some crazy low price like that. I've been redlining it now and then since about 1000 miles, and I run premix w/o the OMP.

There was a post on the other forum about them. A few people are running them, all with good results so far. Only complaint was that they took longer to seat to the housings then "normal" seals...supposedly.

Andynogo has given me a set for the 20B for Christmas.

They'll be in the motor early next year

I'm running them in my current motor. Boosting 1.3 kilos(19 psi). Had a few tuning "hick-ups" They seem to be holding up fine. I didn't find them harder to install than any other apex seal, but I haven't assembled 50+ like Dragon.
