Dude, perhaps that book might be good for him, but honestly, I thought it sucked. I bought it, read it, and came to the conclusion that there is just too much information overdose in it, to where your brain goes numb after reading everything and in the end you are still left with lots of answers.

Also, it's weird because it's not written for noobs, because there is way too much unnecessary shit in there, yet it's not written for people who know about wankels, because it didn't answer a lot of my questions.

What I found works better is reading FC3S pro and Aaron Cake's website blogs. I know they are for FC's but the basic principle is the same.

Also, head over to the evil forum and steal their cookies, (I mean noob FAQ) from both the second gen and the third gen sections. We here are too L33T to write that s***, LOL!

Well "Dude", the book isn't perfect but on the whole it was worth the money IMO.
It doesn't spoon-feed ("too much info" "unnecessary shit" perhaps?) and it doesn't make decisions for the reader. Instead it gives you the information from both sides of an issue (like synthetic oil, sequential vs parallel; single set-ups, standalones etc.) and let's you make up your own mind...assuming you have one.
If you think that book had too much information, the FSM must have really been disappointing.
