How is this of all things in the non-technical section? Asking for an explanation on parts? Interesting selection, indeed.

What port are you referring to? The top two are pics are monster bridgeports, I guess what you might call a J-port. The seals stay in place because of the small bridge of metal left between the ports.

As far as sealing, the old Racing Beat catalogs explain the modifactions necessary for sealing a J-port, but I can't remember what you do exactly off the top of my head.

Wrong. The end-pieces will get wedged in the cutout in the rotorhousing, one piece seals is the way to go here. The bridge keeps endpiece, sideseals and cornerseals from falling into the port in the iron, not the housing.
As seen on the latest picture, that's what Markus' dad seems to have allready known, I may add that in a high rev engine I will reccomend using carbon seals.

Looks like Daddy had a serious rotary addiction back in the day, good for him. I suggest you post the pics of the irons and housings in the rotary engine building section over at NoPistons. I'mm guessing Howard Coleman may have some sage words of advice for you.

Is the a clutch disc and counterweight to go with the flywheel and pp?
