    Abstract: A gas turbine engine assembly includes a compressor including a plurality of rotors, where at least one of the plurality of rotors includes a radial inner sealing surface. A rotating shaft drives rotation of the plurality of rotors, where the rotating shaft includes an annular groove proximate the radial inner sealing surface. A seal is disposed within the annular groove, and the seal comprises at least two annular sections forming a complete circumference. Each of the at least two annular sections are separate parts and include a radially-facing sealing surface engaged to the radial inner sealing surface of the rotor and an annular slot disposed radially inward of the radially-facing sealing surface. A retainer is disposed within the annular slot limiting radial expansion of the at least two annular sections.
