Thanks for the info…..It is Wayne’s engine. I would like to ask you a couple more questions about them. I could email you privately if that OK? 
 
Sure.  Wayne is actually the one who let me in on the new engine deal, so I have him to thank for mine.  
  
  Also, I ran across the site in AU. They have some interesting ceramic seals. http://www.selectmaz.com.au/apex_seals.htm.

Thanks

Oz has a lot of rotary engine wisdom.  They seem to be far more common over there (or is that down under there).  You notice that they didn't claim the seals were cheap, unless you compared them to a new engine and turbo :-)   Tracy is selling some new metal seals that sound pretty bullet proof.  They probably won't have the long wear life of the ceramics, but how much life is enough?  In the rest of my life, I probably won't fly enough to wear out a set of seals.

 

Cheers,

Rusty
