What kind of side seal to corner seal clearance do you run on higher hp turbo engines? I'm assuming that a long side seal will expand more than the apex seal does.. I usually run a .015mm cleance and I've had no problems with blow by, but I've also heard that a tighter clearance will pick up 10 hp or so..
Alright, Jude Ito, your honor, how do you keep the apex seal end square when you are reducing the length? Any tricks you know? I was extremely careful and it seems quite square but not perfect. I am assuming the ends wear in after break-in so it is not extremely critical to have it perfect. Any thoughts?.........
