I cant wait to see how this turns out. Ive got the teflon coolant seals now, and I have really put those seals through hell in the past couple of weeks. Including 3 times when I lost all my coolant. The motor hasnt even missed a beat. I cant wait to see how these do.
Banzai, is there any chance you could test them against the teflon coolant seals? I would love to see how they compare.

We have a set of the M-C Teflons up there now. Current plan is to assemle a keg and do some high temp hydros for starters after the static hydros are done.
If that test goes well I will disassemble the KEG and re-assemble with a iron that has the seal lip broken in it.
Then a set of seals will go in my new engine

Dear No-Name poster:
Why did I not build my own engine in May of 2002. Very Simple. I was working 70 hours a week and needed an engine. Simple. Didn't install it until fall 2003. I used PR because of there reputation and the advertised price (in 2002) was an extremely good value, considering the new housings.
So why am I bitching now: I DID NOT GET WHAT I PAID FOR!
BTW: For future reference: please keep the PR Engine comments in the threads with the pictures of the engines that didn't work as advertised!
