Sorry Guys,

The heat strips I talked about in an earlier letter should go on the

outside

of the inner water seal closer to the water jacket and should only be

used

on engines that require the seals to be placed into the aluminum rotor
housings (1986 and newer 13B rotaries).

Thanks Leon!

Andy

This is a bit confusing.  ALL 1986 & later 13B have the oring seals in the
side housings, not the rotor housings.

Thanks for catching that Tracy. Also I have not seen those heat strips for years.
Back in the 70's I think they were used. I also think they were on the 
combustion side of the O-rings. Makes more sense.
