Rotary Reuild Video

I will honestly say that I am a beginner when it comes to motors period. I only know the basics. I was actually wondering if watching this video would help me(not become a rotary guru) get a better understanding on how rotarys works as well as solve common problems with rotary engines.

Yes. Then when yours blows, rebuild it yourself.

Definitely helped me. At first I was like side seals, apex seals, corner springs, oil control rings... uh wtf goes where?! Watch the video, take yours apart when the time comes, and you'll get it.

I know the fast answer to this question, but is this video really worthwhile? I've got my engine apart already and it doesn't seem that complicated. Other than the trick about supergluing the triangle piece back to the upper apex seal (and don't use superglue to install side seals!) and using vaseline to hold the corner seals and side seals on while you assemble, is the video worth spending that kind of money on? Everything just seems pretty straightforward. Assemble apex seal, install corner seal, repeat x6, install side seal, repeat x 12, install new o-rings, work fast if you use vaseline so the rubber doesn't swell and refer to FSM as needed.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I just have to ask the question, does the video teach you anything that common sense and paying attention while taking it apart doesn't?
