What Is It Worth?
#11
Pics will be coming soon. I just signed the engineering purchase order today. It will take about 3 weeks for the Engineering test set to be ready.
Unfortunately, these will not be cheap, I am striving to keep costs down however these are essentially hand-made to order in the Good Old USA!
I have shelled out ALOT of $$$ of my own that could have gone towards other items I NEED for my build, but I decided, (especially after seeing the joke Pineapple calls a Coolant Seal, to have a QUALITY Seal made. Instead of a bigger turbo or FMIC

Another Advantage, is that the seals will have the ability to be reused WITIHIN A LIMITED/REASONABLE timespan: ie, you build a engine, test it on the dyno and need to tear it down again. They are not designed to be driven 100K, torn down and reused.

The seal will be constructed of a helical spring surrounded by a Hi-Nickel outer metal jacket; coated with pure silver, which yields under compression to create a seal by filling groove imperfections and assuring face to face contact of the sealing surfaces. The spring is designed with a specific compression resistance and provides an elastic force where each spring coil acts independently; insuring MAXIMUM sealing.
The design is propriatary and available exclusively through my shop Rotary Innovations.

Here is a sketch of the seal concept. Actual pictures are coming, after the prototype and engineering test sets are made. We are planning a hydrostatic test program with the new seal, mazda OEM seal, Teflon Encapsulated McMaster-Carr, and the Viton (That was in my Pineapple)

Do you have a basic idea of price? I mean, are we talking $50, $500, $1500
Just a ball park idea would be cool, definatly wouldnt be holding you to the price. Just trying to get an idea if I should even consider it or not.

Hell I'd be down for that. I'm considering taking my motor apart this summer, for ***** and giggles, but if have the patience to take the motor apart i'll be using your seals. fo shizzle
