what i really want to know is if there is an electric oil pump for the 12a motor... if anyone knows please give me the website for it...

reason being that when you start you car there is no oil on any part above the oil pan , and they say starting a car is just like 1000 miles worth of driving, and think if you have an oil pump hooked up to the ignition, you could turn your key once let the engine oil up then start it. their is a company that practices this on a 28 liter generator, and it has be running for about 40 years now, with no out of the ordinary problems.

not on a rotary engine. the oil sits in the rotors when you shut the motor off so when you start it up you get instant oil pressure! its nice owning a rotary motor!!!!

i did not know that

680RWHP12A

cool now you know!!
i have taken apart motors that had 350,000 miles on them and the bearings were still like new!!
when building motors i rarely have to change the bearings, a savings i pass on to the customer!

do the apex seals normally go due to too much compression?

hhaha i said "to too"

Just like a piston engine's piston rings, they wear out from rubbing on the rotor housing.

They usually tend to wear out from normal friction, but it is possible to blow them out from too much boost in a NOS or Turbo/SC setup

easy to blow apex seals
drive a turbo rotary cold and drive it like you stole it and gaurnteed blown apex seal

QuagmireMan

it seems like all N/A apex seals last alot longer than turbos

Technically it's not boost that kills apex seals but detonation. That's why good tuning is a must when dealing with turbo rotaries.
