 Since the rotary loves to eat the innards our of mufflers (and the
muffler too), I was thinking of an alternative material to pack my
muffler with. (Here's the wierd part) I have an Eheim (sp) aquarium
filter that uses a ceramic medium that just may make a good packing
material. (I warned you.) The ceramic pieces are about 1/2" X 1"
with approx. 1/4" holes running lengthwise. They sorta look like
noodles, only made of ceramic and should be available from any
tropical fish store. Would ceramic make a
good packing material? Can it handle the temps of the rotary?(snip...)
