Side/ Corner Seals flush against rotor
Hello everyone,
I just dismantled my engine because I had apex seal failure. Long story short, most of my side seals and corner seals, on the rotor which lost the apex seal, are flush against rotor. Aside from the apex seals which turned into shrapnel, the reaming apex seals are jammed in.
What causes this?

I have only seen it happen once and it was in an engine that was completely destroyed because the kid kept driving it even after it was making horrible noises. Amazingly it even drove (sounding like diesel with no exhaust) off the tow truck into the garage. It's funny too because other engines that were not completely destroyed would not even run at all.
