an RX8er's rebuild thread
the problem with cutting the side seal that way is you are grinding it with a flat surface when it fits up to a round surface, which means you only have a tight clearance over an extremely small point rather than the entire sealing surface area

I've seen plenty of people grind it out on a flat surface, through a wheel or sandpaper and it turns out fine. so long as you get the angle right it shouldn't be an issue.
But ya never know!!
The engine sounds much healthier this time around, it almost starts when the gas pedal is down which to me seems like its getting a **** ton of fuel that it doesn't need and is flooding.

but if you look at the angle on the manufactured side it does not conform to the corner seal....just saying
