I'm surprised you just did the large face port freehand, with no outline or guide marks? Wouldn't that create the chance of small variances between each port?
If someone has never ported a rotary or used a dermal before, I would absolutely recommend porting templates. Over the years of porting rotary engines I now use the engine casting, wear pattern, seal positions and feel which has worked great for me.
The bridge will help carry the RPM of the power band further. My previous only bridge port motor would hold power band til 9,400rpm, I’m hoping this setup will carry to around 10,500rmp
Interesting, I’ve never had that problem. I’ve seen side seal wear chop on irons before. Normally happens when people run the cutting edge of porting towards the water jacket, and the upper left corner of the ports also side seal will show extensive wear.
Well spoken, tempting an RX8 build and watching as much of these as possible to learn about rotaries. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.

Long overdue, definitely need to make a point of it.

2:00 two rotors, two hammers, got it! 😁
Lmao 🤣 good call, I was actually using the hammers earlier on a wear ring install for my jetski, nice catch lol 😂
@@janousekmike it was just the way they were leaning together that tickled me! it must have been a good minute before i'd noticed! 😄
What is the point of adding a half bridge to a semi peripheral?
What is the half bridge adding that the semi p wouldn't already provide?

Nítido 👌🔥

Shame Rotary was not a diesel.....
Did they experiment with them back in the 60s.
