Rotary Engine vs. Piston Engine - Opinions?

@XuperXero

Vacuum hoses are not much of a problem if you do rat’s nest removal.

Flat - built rotary can last longer than that. There are plenty of decent mileaged built rotaries out there, they’re just as reliable as pistons given the proper maintenance (not necessarily more maintenance).

Apex seals are upgradeable to stronger ones.

But above ALL else, tuning on rotary is the most vital part of the engine. Steve Kan anyone?

^agreed.
If they put in as much engineering and development into the Rotary as they did the Piston engine… it would be even more reliable.

IIRC, it was ford who really pushed the Rotary development onto the back burner…
