> [@MaximaSE98](#): > > u need to set up like a triple knock sensor system…does ur engine management do such a thing These things are better to be argued about with rotary experts, not just people that hear things about knock, apex seals, and dowl pins. If you really want to discuss that sort of stuff go to a rotary forum, there are thousands of pages there for you to learn from. In regards to my motor, I think it was just the motor that was bad. The first one I blew up was my fault (sort of), this second one was a crapshoot (I lost) Maybe third one’s a charm. **If** I get another motor it will be from Gotham Racing, from the same guy that tuned my car, because he’s willing to back it up with a warrantee for 3 years 36K. That’s long enough for my money. X… ---

I do believe in the early ninteys wankle power was a dominant force in endurance racing, having few moving parts in a powerplant usually creates a more reliable package. thats sad to hear you just got the car back together. ---
