Cool Engine Tech info

Found this on the web and wanted to share. This is an old manual but the spark plug page towards the back supports keeping the revs up a little for good combustion - even for the 8. Good lubrication system diagrams too.

enjoy!

Does anyone remember an early post (months ago) that had a link to an approximately 3-page description of the rotary engine? I think one of the pages showed all of the parts laid out on the floor, and contained their descriptions. I've tried to find it again, but was unsuccessful. Any help would be appreciated.

howthingswork.com has a pretty good diagram and animations and does a good job of explaining it. I'm retarded and still managed to pick up on it.
