installing apex seals with broken end piece
I had to take me newly built engine (13B-REW) apart again after I found a small water leak.
It turned out to be a pinched outher water seal bewteenw front rotor housing and center plate.
I also found all my apex seals with broken end pieces (I turned the engine a few times to check compression).
I know that putting them back in will be a pain in the ***, so any tip would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks in advance,

degrease the seals, super glue them, let it take a set. after it dries, use a razor blade to scrape away the excess glue that bled out the sides, otherwise you'll have issues with the apex seal binding on the corner seal during install.
