      you can install the side spring seal in any way. People install it with the tips pointing up only because it may provide support on the end of the seals, but I have installed it both ways and found no problems. The oil ring spring and the apex spring are the only two springs that must be installed correctly

      yeh but people who are thinking about giving it a go still need to have a good amount of engine building knowledge & experience, clearances etc are very important in a rotary engine, all the details matter you can't just throw it together & think it's going to work properly or at all, if you don't really know what you're doing there's a good chance that you will end up with a junk engine & rotaries are now far too rare to be mucking around with, though people who do know what they are doing & are willing to take their time with the build then in that case all good but please rookies these engines are too hard to find these days to ruin hey :)

    You should try knolling before starting an engine rebuild. That way, you'll never forget parts. Before i learnt of this, i'd forget on average 2 3 parts, never once since i started that process. It's neat and somewhat therapeutic too.

    Note on the sanding. That metal table surface is not very flat. A cheap flat surface is a thick piece of glass. Another tool you should have is a 4" diameter grinding stone. It looks a lot like a hockey puck, one side is coarse one is fine. MSCdirect pn# 05108402 is a good example of what I am talking about.
