Lynn,
I spoke to Peter Glover personally after someone mentioned his product. He is a POM and well known in the racing game.
His seals are very good for racing, I forget the cost but they were very expensive, might have been $500 a set and $1,000 an engine.
Anyhow this made my head hurt and tried to block it out.
 
He will guarantee that they will not break - they are soft like the Hurley, he doesn't supply end piece or the springs.
 
He doesn't say how long they might last, but I figure in the racing game their changed out fairly regularly.
 
My guess is that he's targeting the racing people and this represents value for money in regard to insurance against detonation, which can cost a hell of a lot more, if it happens.
 
Hope that helps Lynn.
George (down under)
