It was from the Rotary Aviation master rebuild kit for RX8, so OEM 2 piece.=
 Not sure if I re-installed it wrong or put in the wrong side seal, or if i=
t was weak from the overheating previously. Not sure, lots of different rea=
sons why it could of happened.

Looking at getting rid of the RA super seals and going back to stock OEM ap=
ex seals and side seals by the letter instead of cutting them. Only need 1 =
rotor, but by the time you add everything up, it's almost cheaper to buy an=
 engine and just re-use the rotors.
