Can end and center housings that are cast iron be hot tanked?  I think
they use a mild acid heated up.  I have to give a talk on the rotary
next weekend and I thought it would be good to have pieces on hand.  Is
there a website where I can download a program that shows the rotary
combustion cycle?  Thanks for any help.

I am sure the end housing can be tanked.

Paul Lamar ...No rotor no motor.

No problem with ferrous metals,
but the caustic solution will chemically reduce and erode non-ferrous
material.
Certain bearing material is also affected, and should be removed prior to.
(chemical reaction will be seen almost immediately on these)
