Don't forget the crap, arrests, lycra shorts, diarrhea, and lube (hehehe, lube...). That last is actually probably positive, but the word lube is funny so I just wanted to mention it.

...I was trying to forget those things because they weren't important compared to the things I quoted. Especially kinky sex. Dirty, weird, kinky sex.Squint wrote:Don't forget the crap, arrests, lycra shorts, diarrhea, and lube (hehehe, lube...).

As I can't see the video at work, I'm hoping it's the right link...
EDIT: post fail, have to fix it later.

So what are you going to do? Are you going to be looking at a rebuild or replacing the car?Jastreb wrote:Well, it appears 1 of my rotors is on the way out. 97k miles
#rotaryproblems
As someone who only has a basic understanding of rotary engines, does this mean that they typicaly need more routine "overhaul" type maintenance than typical 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engines? Is the rest of their maintenance lower to counter that higher cost? Otherwise, I can see a clear reason why they haven't caught on more, beyond the "it's different that what we're used to" argument you'll get from the general, non-caring public.IMBoring25 wrote:From what I've heard the apex seals usually go out like clockwork at about 60K.

My experience is also limited, but yes, rotary motors do need much more frequent overhaul. Their biggest issue are the apex seals, which will wear out far sooner than, say, piston rings.Squint wrote:As someone who only has a basic understanding of rotary engines, does this mean that they typicaly need more routine "overhaul" type maintenance than typical 4-cylinder or 6-cylinder engines?
