We removed the liner from the rotor housing exhaust port and will use
that port as the intake.
The end housings are aluminum and will have the exhaust ports in them.
Since we are building the end housings we can set up the port timing
like we want, similiar to the Rx8 engine design.

Hi Royce, I would have thought that the exhaust port is 'too early' in the intake

cycle to be used as an intake; or do you intend to open it up towards a "later"
position of timing? I like the idea if it works. Dave McC

Royce,after more musings on this, if you ran the engine in reverse, the 

exhaust port would be pretty close to optimum for an intake, and your new 
side exhausts could be above, somewhere close to the 'level' of the original 
intake.Is this what you intend to do? Following with much interest, Dave McC
