heres some positive press for hurley seals after a bagging from rookies
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqzasRzBpJI

hahahahhah 1 of 2 that i know that successfully runs with 1 piece hurley seals!! I did speak with hurley and they said the comp was a joke and it should have at least 100psi which it clearly didnt!! Spoke to the Original engine builder and had no support. i will never take advice from anyone again here in the UK - i will go with what i know works!!
 
I may be a rookie at building engines but your forgetting a few things:

• that FD is a drag car - it can be a pig to start and only has to last for 10 seconds.
• i had a brand new engine and it never started
• it must start on the key as its NOTa drag car

are you saying the car in the video doesnt start off the key and that it only last 10 seconds? i think the burley owner would knock your block off if you said to him!!

go back to xile champ your input is not needed here

[rdpeterson8]

not on xile champ but dont like seeing false accusations against hurleys. could end you up in trouble.

dude look at the facts here:

engine 1 didnt want to start. 2 parameters have changed - builder and apex seals - thats it. everything else is as is - same cranking map, same ancillaries, same internals apex seals aside. engine 2 starts on the key and has 7 bar compression without any running in; itll prob peak around 7.5ish which is fantastic for a bridge.

so - 2 factors have changed - engine builder and apex seals. Im not questioning eras engine building as hes built a good engine for another friend of mine. So that leaves the apex seals.

Or we could get silly and start blaming the tooth fairy.

Furthermore ive just 2 weeks ago tested an engine for a friend of mine looking to buy a car equipped with mick hurleys finest sports rebuild. 2000 miles in and didnt produce 6 bar. Not exactly something to write home about.

No ones making false accusations about hurleys - everything I or Damon has said has been corroborated by facts.

Not one exile? Your post in Simon929s FS thread would disagree.

[rdpeterson8]

sorry dont have to be a \'member\' of xile to look at the posts fool.

how much running in did this engine do then Jit? and why are you a reported guest?

[Jit]

How much running in it did is irrelevant. Why should someone have to run their engine in just so that itll start on the key? Thats absurd. The results on the mazda seals (which have had the same running in as the hurleys did - ie none) speak for themselves.
Also i dont feel the need to try and belittle someone with cheap swipes at their name or indeed cheap insults.

[rdpeterson8]

they are race seals quite different from stock mazda. typing tit for jit was an accident which i fixed. i will let you carry on with your car as you make clear you dont want my comments which begs why did you do this thread??

[gsb876]

Guys can we calm it down a level please,

And please do not threaten other users on the forum please as this will not be tolerated.

" i think the burley owner would knock your block off if you said to him!!"

"not on xile champ but dont like seeing false accusations against hurleys. could end you up in trouble"

[clive]

O/K people we are getting multiple reported posts about this thread from members so calm this down please.

If your going to post facts post facts but keep personal insults well away from this club as our members clearly do not like people bitching at each other !

If no-one has realised, 12at is bo0557. He\'s been banned once before from MRC for his poor comments. He is only on forums to antagonise and annoy others.

He\'s been booted from Ausrotary, Exile and MRC before. And he\'s still the same.

well I\'m gonna stick my 2p worth in.........

i have been using Hurley\'s race seals for the last few years, and tbh i had a very similar problem with starting at first.
when i pulled the motor down after about 8-10hrs run time and 500 miles i found the springs had gone flat so they were replaced and everything else was left the same, i now have a car that has better compression and more importantly starts on the key(most of the time) although compression still isnt as high as i would like this may not all be down to the seals.
that said as/when i pull the motor down again i will be using 2pc seals so as to get better compression.
i would also like to comment that these seals have had a very hard life with me, several failures of ancillaries, fuel surge when cornering (cos I\'m dumb and didn\'t check my fuel level while chasing other cars) and me learning how to map.........

so in conclusion i would recommend the Hurley 1pc seals for certain uses but not in a road car.

i will let you all make your own decisions and draw your own conclusions, but if any body would like a chat about my experience with them please feel free to make contact.

This install does look good and i look forward to seeing how this goes after tuning.

Cheers for your input on the hurleys and yes agree they aren\'t for something that needs to be reliable..

Hope to tune it in the next few months and get it ready for spring
