  Here is the final report on the seizure I had when I blew a oil line.

   As I predicted there is no damage to the e-shaft or bearings and in
fact I will use the main bearings over again but the side housings
and rotors are trashed do to the expansion of the rotors do to loss
of cooling to the rotors.

  Also the corner seals, apex seals and rotor housings are in good
shape but the side seals and the oil rings are also trashed.

This is a new one on me. One would think if you did not have enough
oil to cool the rotors you would not have enough oil for the bearings
either. How much rotor clearance did you start with Ken?
