how about a "how to" manual?

After following Richard's impressive effort over the years, I can just imagine that manual.

Step 1.    Machine the aluminum side housings from billet aluminum.
Step 2     Cast the iron wear surfaces and machine the o-ring grooves to seal the water jacket area. 
.

.
Step 302  ...........

Some projects aren't suited to DIY manuals.  If you had the talent & ability to follow the instructions, you probably wouldn't need the manual at all.  It sure is way beyond what I could tackle.

Richard,
 
That works for me, RES12 it is.  So, when do you start selling these little jewels?

Whatever, I call it the RES12. If there is a 13B based version in the future it will be a RES13.

Richard,

Then, wouldn't you refer to half a 12A as a 6A?

Yes Mark,
 
the airframe is my AVID Heavy Hauler, which I flew for 10 years with a SOOB. Airframe mods are done, and the engine is on the test stand for shake down runs.
I would call that engine a 12B because it uses a 12A rotor and rotor housing.
