Question: Apex seals?
What type of apex seals does the RENESIS use? I thought I would ask the people who have worked on the engine thus far, Canzoomer any idea? Or maybe even Yawpower. Thanks in advance

Seals.....
Seals are plasma hardened steel.

For the full porting discussion, search for a thread by 'guitarjunkie28', called "the great Renesis porting project", he da man.
