Rusty,
What's your recommended way of inserting the
apex seal including tip.
What I have been shown is to superglue the end
piece to the apex seal, with spring place under it, and with the corner
seal in place, gently but firmly slide the apex seal ( one piece now) and
spring into place.
A little heat and movement will separate the two
apex seal pieces. You will actually hear the corner seal click into place when
you turn the engine over by hand.
I would love to hear of other methods.

Thanks for the comments Ed and Todd.

(wondering how Rusty broke a corner seal?)
Well, if you must know... :-) I was unsure of
whether to put the tip of the apex seal in first, or the corner seal. I
ended up putting the tip first, then the corner seal, and it worked fine,
until the last one. On the last one, I was having trouble getting the
corner seal to line up in it's hole, and also with the tip of the apex
seal. After wiggling on this some, I managed to get it stuck such that I
couldn't pull it out with my fingers. Let's just say it doesn't take
much to snap these things with a pair of pliers :-)

anyone, including Ken P)
