Prolonging engine life

As we know, the Big Danger to rotaries is overheating. And when they go they go fast. You can't make it home. And usually it's a stupid hose leaking. So you should get a cooling system pressure check every once in a while.

I have another suggestion: after the car has sat for a day, open the hood and loosen the rad cap (while the engine is still cold!). You should get a nice PFFTT, signalling that the system is still airtight.
