On the other hand
 a slightly hotter rotor is slight more efficient and teflon encapsulated
 O-rings will extend viable rotor temperatures.

I really want to believe in tefflon, but I'm just chicken.  Should I ever
burn out the factory o-rings I just paid $16 a piece for, I will definately
be giving the tefflon a try.  I have been having such a great time
overhauling this engine that I almost hope I have an excuse to do it again
some day (after a couple thousand hours, of course). :-)

We are still in the R&D stage on the rings Dave. Someone is going to be testing
the installation shortly. We may have to adjust the sizes slightly.
I already made one size adjustment on one of the oil control o-rings.
