Like the OP mentioned, an MEI's must have 5 hours in type BEFORE he can instruct in a ME aircraft (there are loopholes in this reg but it would not be safe to teach in an airplane you had never flown anyway).
I agree rick... but OP says all his friend's time is in seminoles. Unless he got his MEI in less than 5 hours (possible...), he should have at least 5 hours PIC in a seminole. Then why would he need to have 5 MORE?

Also, what loopholes? I wasn't aware of any.
