While we're on this subject...  I've spoken to a few Australians
that have told me about 'redoweling' the engine's when outputting
several hundred horsepower.  I believe they remove the (4) tubular
dowel pins (on 2-rotor engines), run the respective oil lines
externally, and take advantage of the holes leftover for four
additional bolts.  It's apparently a difficult job; I can see why.  The
concern I'd have with it is, "how are the housings indexed when
building it without the dowel pins?"
