The a addition of material to the rotors to up the compression can heal the apex sealing issue. More bulk of metal around the area that the seal rides in gives it (THE SEAL) less mechanical advantage over the rotor's edge.

IMHO, the biggest problem I know of is the rotor side seals and burning oil. Not so much of a problem in a diesel... Lol.
