Competition Apex Seal Information Engine — Rotary Carbon apex seals and Iannetti Advanced Carbon seals are recommended for any engine that will see 8000 rpm and above. They weigh significantly less than the stock (cast iron) apex seals and provide lower mass‚ keeping the apex seal in contact with the rotor housing face at high rpm. At high rpm‚ the stock (cast iron) seal overcomes the spring‚ causing the seal to skip across the rotor housing surface‚ reducing engine performance. Cast iron seals
