i'm still suprised the rotor is ok. in my engine, the rotor, and the grooves were both destroyed when my apex seals went.



lucky bastard.

i was only using this template as a reference for sizes. Had i know it was so utterly useless i wouldnt have spent the 80 bucks (with shipping) on these stupid pieces of ****. :( Im gonna go bigger, thats for sure https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR and my exhaust is going a little bigger also.



As for the engine. Thing is the apex seal didnt really like shatter or anything. A corner chipped off (small break) and that made the 1 gash. The rotor has a couple little scraps in it, but nothing bad. I will take pictures tomorrow when everything is done soaking in carb cleaner. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

Just checked I have one without a scratch on it, no edges flaking and no cracking near the spark plug holes, https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

Even fd ones will work, the only differnce between s4 and s5 housings is the egr passage. Just need to block it.

s4 jdm housings (maybe s5 jdm too, never seen one) have the leading plugs a little lower

why is that? that sounds retarded. I dont want 1 leading plug lower than the other... that would cause some issues....
