So each rotor has had one intake event. Each face has a calculated displacement of about 650 cc. Two X 650 cc = 1.3L. If you can explain why it's 2.6L, maybe I can send Paul an apology. Or are you just trying to get my goat? :) I'm not trying to create a big discussion on the displacement of the rotary, I just want to understand where that 2.6L per revolution number is comming from. I haven't been able to see it. I think Paul gets it from comparing to a piston engine, and I agree that the 13B compares closest to a 2.6L 4 cycle 4 cylinder engine. Bob W.
