Who here works with rotaries for a living?

I own a speedshop, and unfortunately sell more bullshit than real performance parts. Mainly cuz there is a bigger demand for it. Hate to say it but the majority of the import enthusiasts in my area are into really gay ****. So I dont get to spend too much time working with rotaries other than my own.
Who here gets to work on/with them for a living? And what exactly do you do?

I would be all about specializing in rotaries as a career if there was enough of a client base to make some decent money...

I agree with stickgoat. I'd do it for a living if there was real money in it. Unfortunately, in my area, my customer base could be counted on one hand.
