Hi Dana. Good move deciding on using a wankel. Your description of them being 'bullet proof' is absolute! And 180 hp topsnaturally asperated in somethng the size of a large breadbox IS impressive!
I got into the rotary about 6 years ago, bought and rebuilt one, and am amazed that there are not more in vehicles and airplanes! I think auto dealers don't like them because of the minimum service required after sales. Enjoy the rebuild, it's not like anything you've rebuilt before. But then you know that already, like you said, no valves, no cams, no springs, no pins, no bunch of bearings, no heads, no jugs... Heck, it's almost NO fun if you're a gearhead! Will you be using the airconditioning condensers for cooling? Keep us abreast. mailto:pjohn...@voyageur.ca
