Rotary Engine Failure due to Side Rotor/Side Rotor Housing Clearance..

[AnthonyNYC]

I guess I take it for granted but in the NE most of the rotary guys help each other. We share a lot of info and this will only help all of us in the long run.

I take .003 off each face. Some take more off some take less, most I know go with .002. I've run 550-600hp for years with nothing touching. As soon as I started trying to go over 630hp or so, things started flexing and the tips touched and I had the rotors clearanced.

Earlier this year at a drag racing event I spoke with Ray@PFS and asked him one of those top secret questions, not only did he answer me honestly but even offered to send me the part I needed to get it going. In the end we all need to help each other.
