The keg should be cracked tonight and we'll get to see if it's good enough to justify a rebuild! Prelimenary findings are that it does in-fact move air, 3 distinct pulses for each rotor, and it turns smoothly. Looking in the exhaust ports you can see some light scoring on the rear housing but can't say anything definitive until it's apart and measurements are taken. Thanks again XJDano for the awesome project!

That's what this is? I thought it was some kind of floor buffer.

the garage currently. Don't really have a solid plan for it besides getting it apart and hopefully ported and rebuilt.

Somehow I've been reminded of this one aborted project, hooking a 2-stroke motor up to a kegorator for some stupid-ass reason

I like listening to people talk about the details of rotaries. It's like listening to normal engine talk, but in a different dialect of the same language.
It's like in 1899 a bunch of people with a general understanding of car technology were marooned on a large desert island that had all the resources needed to make cars, but zero access to the rest of the world. So development of the automobile continued in parallel, but all the language was different, and they ended up with "apex seals" rather than piston rings, "pulses" instead of strokes, "housings" instead of blocks...

I'm curious how that came up in conversation.

Mhmm. Ideally I'd like to pick up a miata shell and do something cool, but if we blow the motor in the Lemons car before that happens it might find it's way into that too.

I kind of want to do that with my Jag engine going spare, same with the Fiat one as well actually :)
Actually sod that, there's about half a dozen engines I want to rebuild and breathe on just waiting for the right car.

my friend just picked up two Nissan KA motors that are getting the same treatment. I suppose it's better to sit on an engine for a while than to have to chassis in the garage.

Neat :)
Well, for one thing engines take up less space than chassis. Plus, I think I like rebuilding them more than I do chassis/body work.

It's amazing how different doing engine stuff is. I do like it, but I also like getting a drivable product done and having some fun. If this motor turns into what I hope it will, then it might end up in a Miata, which would require some SERIOUS body/chassis work to get everything the way I want it.
