For Lynn and other rotary experts... Sigh. I jusy finished a rebuild because I started getting exhaust gasses in the coolant. ... I assumed that I had melted a coolant jacket o ring (the Teflon ones that RWS sells). But now after replacing the cooling jacket o rings and other rubber stuff? I still seem to have the same problem. Is it a warped rotor housing? Side housing? Impossibe to guess without measurements? I didn't bother with measurements because I dont really have the tools for the require precision.
The symptoms originally came on fairly suddenly with no provocation (like overheating or something). .... I just suddenly lost most of my my coolant.
For the first time in the life of the plane I am considering throwing in the towel on the rotary engine concept, or at least my ability to manage it....
