     Dear Paul

     Please explain " chamfer the back corner slightly". Are you refering to the
     Hurley apex seal (one piece - solid)? If so does it also apply to the two and
     three piece Mazda Apex Seals?

     Also, do you use the rubber insert corner seal? I know this topic started with
     a 13B NA.

     Thanks

This is an exaggerated size of the chamfer. Would not hurt to do it to the
two piece as I notice that too develops a bit of a hook. The rubber in the
corner seal does not seem to hurt. Teflon would be better of course.
