well i plan bridging my old motor and the project will be on its way soon, but before i do i need to know how reliable are carbon apex seals for daily driving? this motor will be put in car used for weekend drags but i will also be driving it when the weather is nice.

If your staying n/a, get the Atkins 2mm 2 piece apex seals. When they blow, they do minimal to no damage. I had 4 engine's go because of apex seals...no damage to anything.
