She Gave Up.
5:15 this morning. I'm on the interstate, cars humming along quite nicely. Now realize, I only got into rotaries at the beginning of the year and have never felt an apex seal let go, but I am no longer a blown apex seal virgin. That's right. It happened instantly, had it been sex, there would have been no foreplay before the event, this was rape. One second it ran great the next second I was having flashbacks of riding a John Deer yard tractor. With half the power. I am not angry, (just slightly depressed), as I was going to stuff a T2 in it around April, I guess I just have to advance my timeline. Time on the clock...213,668 miles. I guess rotaries are unreliable. (add gobs of sarcasm) Just letting you guys know.

I promise you, thats not even necessary. The front rotor goes, pish,pish,pish,pish.nice and strong. The second rotor makes absolutely no noise. What more is there?
