Rotary Car Club - View Single Post - Rotary Engine Failure due to Side Rotor/Side Rotor Housing Clearance..

rotors float on oil and also float on compression seals and springs. The only way for them to hit is from the shaft flexing or improper rotor bearing clearance. If that shaft stayed strait, you wouldn't have any problems with them bumping.

I am not trying to ruin your reputation or anything or get on your bad side. I love building engines as well and have built a ton of them. I like finding solutions to problems and fully understanding what everything does. There is always something someone can teach ya no matter how many years you do something. I just figured I would chime in and say a few things...
