bloody hell, how lucky is that? Do you know what caused it in the first place so you can stop it happening again?

Well Pip did warn me about carbon apex seals absorbing moisture over time, he said I might be ok if had been kept well oiled. Seems it wasn't oiled well enough.

Whats the plan then, are you changing all the apex seals?

On the plus side Keith, you only need 1 seal
I guess you can use all the side seals etc & springs again? When you think what might of happened

Yes everything looks fine apart from that seal so a set of apex seals and a soft seal kit I guess.

Yes thats the plan, evrything else looks good

Yeah, carbon seals will even begin to break up in storage.

What seals you planning to run?

13B 3mm carbon seals are NLA dude.

I'm not sure to be honest, what would you suggest as an alternative?

You gotta go steel seals.

They’ll be harder on the housings though.

But you can still get early housings unlike the carbon seals.
