Apex seal to rotor groove: .002 in./.051 mm
Side seal to rotor groove: .002 in./.051 mm
Side seal to corner seal: .003 in./.076 mm
These came out of Judge Ito's clearancing post that he made some time ago.
The one that I wonder about is the difference between the apex seals and rotor housings. I didn't clearance the apex seals to .0015in. less than the rotor housings like Judge Ito suggested. I would have thought those seals would wear down in size if they were too long though? Or would this not be the case?
