I've just put new o-ring seals in the rotor housings. The whole casing is back together now and the lower intake manifold is in place. When I turn the engine, I can look though the exhaust port with a flashlight and see the HYLOMAR blue gasket dressing on the apex seals. It is worst on the rear rotor. My question is after a get in through the exhaust port and clean off as much of the stuff as possible, will the remaining HYLOMAR burn off? Will my corner seals be damaged or stuck in place?

weird, did you clean the hylomar off the housings before installing the O rings using a razor blade?
before:
after:
I doubt it wil hurt things, probably is going to burn up right away... but I'm curious how you managed to get the hylomar in the engine like that?

I had the engine all the way apart just like it is shown in your pics. I just didn't know to clean it off like that.
