Brian,
Do you use any particular type of superglue

Hey George, "nah" I don't.  I just get anything that works.  The
seals quickly break apart once the car runs anyways.

By the way, we got the engine fired up last night.  Of all of the
engines I've done, even considering the rather radical changes
I made to the intake and exhaust ports, it still fired right up without
any hitch.  I'm very pleased with Tracy's apex seals thus far.
We'll see how long they take to break-in and we plan on beating
them to death (hopefully not literally).  I'll keep the list up-to-date
on our progress.  Hopefully we'll beat and set some records for
Tracy and his friends.

Check out the videos of the engine running; tell me what you think.

Super glue is a brand name here in the states George. It is acrylic based
as I recall.
