quote="KPWSerpiente"]And rotaries blow up. That is still the heart of my platform.[/quote]
why would anyone say something that misinformed. unless i am incorrect and KPWSerpiente is a rotary guru. i've had a rx-7 almost the entire time i could drive, so i will admit i don't know the in's and out's of a piston engine. i used to drive a wrangler but i cared more about what it could run over/through rather than the engine. if you didn't know, piston engines can and do blow up too with the right driver. given the statement that rotaries blow up quicker than piston engines.....lets think about it. maybe they blow up sooner because the drivers have only had piston engines and don't know how to properly maintain a rotary, which is higher maintenence? b00sting a rotary is a different story. but if you have the right person set your engine up and you take care of it, a rotary can and will last a long time, it just takes a watchful eye and a little TLC.
