blown apex seal?
one last try since the forum keeps screwing up my threads....
how many people on this forum have blown an Apex seal on a non-turbo model?
my 88 GXL is running on one rotor. i want to know if is possile that it has a bad apex seal or if the is just too much carbon build up on the apex seals.
i have sea foam and water running through it to steam it and it still runs like crap.
thanks,
Nathan

Ive blown an apex seal. It was my 86GXL with the engine from my 86 base that was destroyed by a little frickin punk that decided to flip his truck up over the back end of my car.

compression check will show you if you have a blown seal. Carbon building up doesn't really make you loose compression on a rotor.
