Rotary Myths
alright guys/gals,
I thought this may be fun, everyone post a Rotary Myth That you have herd that is good for your motor an will prolong the life of your motor
also if you can show that it is indeed a fact and not a myth please do so as this would help alot of people out.
Thanks.
p.s. could we get a mod to sticky this aswell?
I'll Start..
Adding 250ML of Castrol 2 Stroke motor oil into your gas every 2 months
Some have said it will prolong the life of your rotary through better lubrication of your rotary engine...

^ What you're actually doing is pulling the EFI fuse, which cuts power to the ECU, which doesn't fire the fuel injectors when you crank the engine. You're supposed to pull the spark plugs out as well, to clear out any fuel pooled up inside the housings. If you don't do that, chances are you'll hear a huge bang out the exhaust once you get the car fired up.
Lots of people do this. My friend, who has a VERY respectable RX-7 and runs a rotary specialty shop tells me to run a half bottle of two-stroke oil with every fill up. Running premix keeps all the seals loose and happy in their grooves, which helps compression.

Go Hard....or Go Home
Okay race fans #1: We put 2 stroke oil in our fuel tanks because we have removed the oil injection system, and all rotaries need oil to lubricate the apex seals. #2: If you have a continual problem with flooding chances are your engine is a) not cranking fast enough Mazda recommends 250 rpm, b) your compression is low on one or both rotors! That may not always be the case, but its a good place to start!

FACT:In most cases of Engine failure..it is not due to apex Seals..It is Caused by the NUT..BEHIND the Steering Wheel.
MYTH: RPM(JOE) does not actually Rebuild Rotary Engines.He Overnight Ships them to Chuck Norris who by mere" Power of Mind", Forces them to Conform to their Natural Running state!.Chuck then, Sends them back as "repaired".

Fact:Rotarys are like high maitence girlfriends
yeah i checked my compression for a 2nd time 89 psi on the front and rear rotor's so i'm for sure that when i was at the lube shop they topped up my coolant and they over filled it plus the moron's never put my rad cap back on all the way so i can promiss you it spilt out and some managed to hit my starter
