blown apex seal.. is it bad to drive around with it?
Hi guys, I have a blown apex seal on my 2nd rotor. I'm waiting for my motor come in. Is it bad to drive around with it? Is there a possibility of damaging my turbos?
thanx,
dave

Well to be truthfull when you are doing a motor job anyways you will pull off the turbos (stock) and they will be shot to hell cracked, rubbing, and leaking oil in to the intercooler so they will need replacement. if you take care of your car and keep it top notch then dont drive it! but you are probally not the first owner of that car !! i had a bad motor idle like **** just cranked up the idle speed too 1200rpm or so and drove it. dont get me wrong it is not the best thing for it but it already has problems being that it needs a motor so if you mess up the motor any more oh well you are getting a new one!!
