So, Ernest was the bad guy,oooo. We don't want to be reciprocating with the rotary. Or is it?


OK.  You caught me.

I always thought there was some back and forth motion in that rotary rotation.  But I've just spend the last few minutes staring at http://www.keveney.com/Wankel.html

There has to be some recipricating motion.  If there wasn't, the apex seals would all trace a perfect circle.  I should go to bed.

On a different note...

Heh, Tracy, I've got you beat for the most flagrant use of JB Weld.  Cut the flange off and old oil pan, clean it up, and made a new one (of the correct size), with JB Weld and 8oz fiberglass.  I'll know tomorrow if I need to do some aluminum welding instead 8*)
