It is beautiful price enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers made excellent content material as you probably did, the web will probably be much more helpful than ever before.

This is a rotary that we're talking about. It needs high RPMs at least once a week (redline it for a couple seconds, then bring it down) to burn all of the carbon buildup. Rotaries actually LIKE this because it gets rid of all the junk that stays in the combustion chambers. Piston engines can't do it as well, because the pistons have to go up, stop, go down, stop, and repeat. The rotors are circular, so there is no need to stop. This review on taking care of a rotary in spot-on. Obviously, people here are WAY too used to piston engines. This is a rotary that we’re talking about.

I am planning to use one but these problems which i contently hear from other users is double minding me about this. please can some one guide me on how to use and maintain it properly. Also please guide me whether can i use this in areas of hot and dry weather like Central Asia, Middle East! I have not used rotary engines.

Thanks. Upon further reading Grant Boss' comment, I would like to point out a few things... "the engine needing to be warmed up has to do with the turbos, not the rotary engine" ^ not all rotary engines are turbo charged. Oil is injected on to the eccentric shaft and rotors so a good warm up is recommended before reving up excessively. "you should probably talk about the apex seal needing to be changed, that is the biggest issue with these engines." ^ There is a reason I did not mention the seals in this early article. Reason being, that it is a common problem but, it is not as common as it may be said. The apex seals seem to fail more so because of owner neglect or mistreat. If you change the oil with the correct oil meaning non-synthetic oils, and if you remember to periodically check the oil level and top off oil between oil changes. The apex seals would more than likely not fail so often. Other reasons could include abuse, reving your stock rotary beyond the given RPM range, boosting too much pressure with your turbo without doing the proper upgrades, in other words not doing your math correct. I am running a near stock 13B NA with 198,000 miles on the original seals. It is unfortunately showing possible premature signs of wear just recently, but has been running strong and still is. Oil is changed every 3 months and check once every 2 week at least if not more. No pre-mix used ether. Last of all, try and not be so rude in the future. Constructive Criticism is welcome but some things can push the limits. Other people may not be so understanding. Looks like some of us understand the article a little better. Thanks.

The rotary engine DOES need to be warmed up before driving over 3k RPM's. The reason is the engine has a nozzle which sprays oil into the center of the rotor to lubricate it, (not the combustion chanmber) if the oil is thick/cold it will not get the proper amount of oil to lubricate the rotars and greatly reduces the engines life. Secondly you didnt read the post properly about the engine flooding. GRANT BOSS,
