     The seals were 2mm.  You should read the account of the detonation test yourself (website should be back on the air now).  Fuel to secondary
     injectors was intentionally cut while running at 15+ PSI boost.  Virtually every part in the engine was destroyed (except for eshaft and 5 of the
     apex seals.).  One apex seal cracked and it remained in the groove. Even the side  and corner seals broke.
