It's a pleasure to hear someone with so much experience with rotary engines talk about this. topic.

Years ago when I was experimenting with E85 fuel, I managed to get at least one apex seal stuck. I think it happened from programming the aftermarket ECU to inject too much fuel when attempting a cold start. It sounded like low compression when cranking, and at least one apex seal felt stuck and wouldn't spring back when pressed. I used a mirror to look through the spark plug holes, and a long piece of plastic like a sharpie marker to press the apex seals. Adding some ATF and turning the engine over by hand and continuing to press the seals to 'work' them free got the seals unstuck. I switched back to gasoline, and the same engine has worked well for thousands of miles including track days. I feel like I got lucky, because I'm not experienced at rebuilding rotary engines.

Also, that is a great view from the back of your shop. Paddling around a lake sounds nice when the weather is hot.

So, you talk about "you can run a cleaner through it" to get rid of most of the carbon deposits. Considering all the engines I've cracked open were completely full of carbon, I'm thinking about running some cleaner through it as a matter of course. What do you recommend? I've had very little success with brake fluid and water / steam (engine running). Thank you and have a good day.

@@AtkinsRotary chuckles in "RotaryHammer44k" Thank you, I have never heard of it, but I'll see if Europe supplies something like that. If not I might also just throw another fuel system cleaner at it and see what happens.

this is super cool. thanks. Do you know if a 13b REW front cover would fit a 12A and not have any Sump issues? I am planning on using one to turbo charge my 12a and run an ECU. Thanks.
