engines apart, found this

[adib]

 

what could off caused this to snap like this and also the side seals on the front rotor looked like they had been rubbing on some thing, they were pushed right in at 1 corner and are now in 2 bits

[adib]

the water seals were new when i rebuilt the engine but this one was in bits like this when i parted engine

[davehg]

looks like the side seals may have been too tight and not tolleranced correctly.

[adib]

i was thinking i must off pinched the water seal when i put it together but that rubber was in loads off bits all the others were ok

[davehg]

its possible to do but that wouldnt cause a side seal to break etc.....

happy to put it together with you if you can get it here.

[adib]

thanks dave, but thinking ive got to buy new water seal kit, but cant find them on there own so going to cost me another load off money.
