George,

Thanks for a great post. This is the first time I have seen = the=20 REAL (measured) weight of the RX8 rotor. I have seen 8.2 and 8.7 = lbs in=20 print several times - proves you can't believe everything you = read!

Rusty,

Here's some very accurate weights = for your=20 records-

Apex corner seals x6 =3D = 19grams

Apex corner seal springs x = 6 =3D 1=20 gram

Side seal springs x6 =3D1 = gram

Side seals x6 =3D = 25grams

Oil seal springs x4 =3D 10 = grams

Oil seal retainers( metal) x4 = =3D 92=20 grams

Oil 'O' rings x4 =3D 16 = grams

Total of 164 grams ( 5.784936 = oz)

Weighed all together 164 grams ( as = a check for=20 accuracy)

RX8 Rotor 9.3346lbs( 4243 = grams)

I just can't see how you get 10 lb = 9 oz rotor=20 weight comparing these weights, even though the RX7 rotors are = a tad=20 heavier!

BTW Tracy's apex seals are 30=20 grams.

George ( down=20 under)
