Tracy,
   It has been reported that the Renesis rotors are slightly wider than
13b rotors........Could there be a little extra friction causeing the longer
breakin time and gradual power increase along with the wider side
seals ??

George,
    Now we need one of our Renesis engine builders to step up and prove
that the coolent seals fit their rotor housings.........Did you purchase TES
rotor seals from Creavey for your Renesis rotors ?

Lynn,
I would say my "O"rings fit pretty well and that's the Cosmo Rotor Housing - see photo.
