hey guys, been having trouble finding a reliable source of info on rotary engines.

i have no idea how the suckers work, and i just want to expand on my personal understanding of how they operate etc

i have learnt most of the things i know about normal motors myself, and would like to do the same with rotary engines.

anyone know where i can find good info online?

cheers

come on srsly fukian if you're a rotaty inclined individual you're not going to have the smarts to research something. If you had those kinda smarts you wouldn't have any kinda intrest in a wankel 2 stroke.

Can someone recommend a good workshop to take a 13b motor?

I didn't want to start a new thread and it's kinda related. I have tried this magical google device but yielded no results
