My rotary heaven
I had to add the caveat of 'My' because, to me, this is heaven.

I set up some shelves for rotary engine storage, and got to try them out today.
As you can see, the bottom is still empty.
These will go there.

The more rare engines are a genuine 6 port 12A, a twin dizzy early (original) 12A with 6mm apex seals, and a few interesting nitrided J-spec R5 engines with dorky NO intermediate plates.
The rest are mostly beehive engines with the nice '83-'85 rotating assemblies yearning for a port job and a light flywheel. I've got zoom zoom potential now!

I want to move to the west coast strictly because of the non-rarity of first gen parts. The odds of finding parts on the west coast vs east coast is like 5:1.

One was tagged after I personally pulled it (R5 12A) but the rest came from various places so I don't really know much about them. Unfortunately the 6 port 12A and the R5 13B are locked up.
A teardown to determine what's wrong is all I can do at this point, and probably the safer option since I doubt it's carbon lock.
