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?

Yea I wouldn't worry about it. After I put my engine together I could see some hylomar on the Apex seals and rotor. Some of the hylomar squished out after assembley and after turning the engine a few times it picked it up. The engine started right up though and I now have around 5000 miles on it :bigthumg:
