Gee guys, I didn't mean to start a Lamar overload. My thinking has been
to look at high pressure injection of an gasoline/lube oil mix at the
present oil injection port. Hopefully it might result in a better
vaporization of the gasoline and an improved distribution of the lube
oil. I have no desire to "diesel" a rotary nor do I think that such an
effort would be worthwhile. I do think that improved atomization over a
wide range of operating conditions and fuel/air ratios could be useful
but it might also reduce the stratified charge advantage that the rotary
apparently has.

Thanks for all your inputs. I never cease to be amazed at the wealth of
knowledge available here.

That has been tried Fred. It resulted in worse BSFC. What works best
in an aircraft engine is to inject the fuel as far upstream as possible for 
maximum mixing/vaporization.
