If I had $100,000 for rotary R&D I would focus on reducing
the weight.
Probably two piece end housings with steel wear surfaces.

Bravo, well said etc... Work on the cooling, oiling, and weight and the 
rotary will be THE ENGINE. Making Aluminum housings with the [steel] wear surface 
looks to me to be the way to go until det gun coating prices come down. 
Oiling is for the most part handled. Cooling is starting to happen.
Paul has anyone used the NPG coolant in the rotary? Bill Jepson
PS BTW Paul my crappy AOL service has no settings for wrap at all. 
If anybody knows how to find wrap on AOL please let me know. WRJ

I think Ken uses NPG.
