I just read a great article on running ATF through the
Rotary, supposedly to loosen up the apex seals, etc. (high detergent
level). Raves on about having done this multiple times in many engines,
and supposedly power increases of up to 20% +. Anybody done this?
Results?
Thanks;

Lynn, thanks for the heads up on the
engine. Even though it is in a heated garage with hot water heat in the
floor, I pulled the plugs and put oil in each rotor cavity and rolled it over
8 revolutions and duct taped the exhaust. That should even oil the
muffler bearings when I start it again.
