I was familiar with the basic's of a rotary engine but looking at the detail is really neat...

You'd think with todays technology, they could get the sealing problems (from the older motors) corrected.

Much, much more efficient and simplier than a standard 4 stroke engine...

Thanks for the link

One of my first jobs after school, back in 1979, was behind the spares counter in a Mazda dealership. If a guy came in with a long face or in tears we knew he wanted a seal kit for an RX-2 or Capella rotary! Expensive even in those days!

A friend and I were discussing 2 stroke diesel engines the other day at the firehouse. One of our older engines is getting replaced and it has a two stroke Detroit. 1992 Seagrave with 95k miles, which is alot for a fire engine.
