Tim, my thoughts exactly. After many hundreds or even a couple thousand heat cycles why would the second seal act any different than seal one. I can see it helping for those who race and heat things up to the max on a regular basis.

And if you have installed the "special nose" and then install 2 seals is there any advantage? Is 1 seal inadequate?
