hello, i am rebuilding my 13b gsl-se but the problem i have is that when i insert the apex seal with the springs and corner plugs they have free play side to side of less of half 1/2 a milimiter.the apex and corner plugs are 2mm so i believe the rotors groove are 3mm.so i need an advise with this,i need to know if i can used this way or ineed to get other rotors.thanks

 

If I understand correctly, you are saying the rotors are machined for 3mm apex seals, and you're basically installing 2mm apex & corner seals. This won't do, if the rotor is for 3mm apex seals get 3mm apex & corner seals. Or get rotors that are machined for 2mm seals.

 

Yep. Sounds like different sized apex seal and seal grooves. The GSL-SE rotors are 3mm.

Scary to think somebody is rebuilding an engine and doesn't know the difference between 2mm rotors and 3mm rotors.

 

Would that cause the apex seals to bend or snap? Using 2mm instead of 3mm on a 3mm rotor.

 

Put down the tools before you destroy anything!!!

maybe you should post a few pics,read the shop manual,read the entire engine section here,try to find out if there is anyone in your area that has built a rotary before.

 

I wonder if it would run?

 

well, everyone starts somewhere I doubt he'll forget it in the future now heh.

 

That's true. That's why I tend to watch my mouth and not mouth off whenever I run across like this. I asked alot (and I mean alot!) of questions when I first started out like anyone else that I found out later (respectfully to chino) were just plain dumb.
