Apex Seal Chatter or is it Clatter ?
Whatever it is All I want to know is what rpm does the S5 stock 13b with a big streetport usually expierience apex chatter ???
For somone who doesent know chatter or clatter involves the apex seal hitting the rotor housing really fast like vabrating against it instead of smoothly gliding across it.
Or Something like that hehe.

It's doubtfull that I will be selling it anytime soon, but I will be selling eventually. I will be done some....other unspecified...engine work in a few years after I get tired of the bridged turbo-NA engine.

Maybe it's from not bieng hard enough on it
I beat the **** out of mine daily. Actually, before I rebuilt the engines, I would beat the living snot out of that car, redline everytime i shifted. No chatter on the housings when i took it apart. I dont think thats the problem
But seriously, its probably lack of lubrication ... dead oil metering pump.

Its usaly S**t quality Apex's.
You dont see expencive Ceramics or even Mazda's own 3 pc Tips doing it.
I have been told its due to the weight of the Apex? as the engine spins faster the Apex (being heavy) creates more force and pushes so hard against the Housing the Oil is removed and starts a Snag then not sort of motion.

10k you would have some problems with the standard excentric shaft i'd imagine, if your serious about spinning it that high, maybe consider getting a 2piece shaft. Get some good carbon(maybe ceramic?) apex seals aswell.

So do most apex seals.. a very good reason why your motor shouldn't be detonating in the frist place..
Probably quite expensive from what i've heard, I wouldn't know though, i've never really looked into it.
