A method facilitates assembling a rotor assembly for gas turbine engine. The method comprises providing a first rotor blade that includes an airfoil, a platform, a shank and a dovetail, coupling the first rotor blade to a rotor shaft using the dovetail, and coupling a second rotor blade to the rotor shaft such that a shank cavity is defined between the first and second blades. The method also comprises inserting a seal pin into the horizontal platform seal pin slot such that a gap defined between the first and second rotor blade platforms are substantially sealed wherein the seal pin includes a first end, a second end and a substantially cylindrical body extending therebetween and sized to frictionally engage the slot, wherein at least one of the first and second ends has a cross-sectional area that is smaller than a cross-sectional area of the body. |
