Mat,

                  Really out of my territory, but I have heard that a spray and soak with  "carby cleaner" and left overnight may loosen the stuck seal.  JUst passing on the gossip!  Neil.

I've rebuild the RX8 after it overheated on the ground. One apex seal is not springy anymore after i fired it up. They were all springy after rebuild. I can physically touch the seal since I'm p-ported.

Any hints before I tear it apart again? I warmed up the engine a few times, so any superglue should of been burned off.
