Okay, so I pulled the motor apart after I "blew it up" and found out that all my front rotor had 4 corner seals stuck in. I took a dental pick and pushed/pulled on them and they split in 2.



Clearancing problem correct?



My question is...How do you clearance corner seals?

well the corner seals should be free in their holes. and the side seals should be tight against the corner seals, (.002-004"?) but not so tight that it binds the corner seals. if you need to open up the corner seal hole i think you could use sanding paper?
