(OP)
We have installed MD&A's Guardian packing on one of our Units with poor results after the outage. We have found one other guy on a Yahoo group that had similar results. Has any one else out there from a steam power plant installed this packing? What were your results?

I was on one unit that had problems where the laser alignment went poor and vibrations were bad till unit was opened and realigned.

Teeth that are 'rubbed in' will have some tooth loss, but the resulting dimension will be closer than Guardian packing allows.
In a sense, the 'rub rails' are the only two teeth that have any chance of sealing at all. The other "multi teeth" of multi tooth packng are too far from the shaft to do any good.
That is what I think turbineboy's problem is.
