Matt,

    From my experience in engine building & development 1" or so away
   from the
   parting line between the port (in head) and header.  I would think this
   distance outside of the block port in the rotary should still be
   meaningful.
   I have to admit I have not examined any SAE papers to determine if
   the EGT
   profile of the Wankel is discussed.  This should be an easy topic to
   locate.

Rick,

Thanks for the idea on researching SAE..

I think I'm not totally clear about what you're saying about EGT..  Are
you saying that the hottest EGT is less than 1 inch from the port, and
it gets cooler from there?  Hmm..  My impression is that at high power
settings - peak EGT and richer, there's actually flame coming out the
port.  I'll have to think a bit more about whether the temp is actually
dropping even though there's flame.  (Maybe there isn't actually flame
where I'm thinking there is.)

I'm also tempted to include instrumentation for this on my engine test
stand (when I get that going).

Regards,

Matt-
