For the chap considering cutting 3mm apex seal
slots in an Rx8 rotor.
I measured the internals of the RX8 and Rx7 rotors
and although there are differences, not so much to worry in this
area.
In the RX7 rotor the depth of material in 1.5mm
below the corner seal area.
For the Rx8 it is about at the bottom of the corner
seal area or about 1.5mm shallower - still plenty of room for a deeper and wider
cut to 3mm.
The width is only .5mm extra each side, and the RX8
appears to be of the same width of material as the RX7.
What initially concerned me was the corner seal
area, however the metal is quite thick in that area and is probably why they
remove material in that area, when balancing the rotor.
Hope that helps - I will get my 3mm in Rx8 rotor
cut next week with luck. I will also have the rotor balanced to check if the
weight is symmetrical.
