Is 20B engine more reliable than 13B?

Just wondering if the 20B is more reliable?

I would say no since you have three more apex seals to let you down

BTW, that's a joke...I have no clue.

A larger displacement engine can make more power reliably.. but it is not more reliable.

a 2 rotor is going to be more reliable at the same hp/liter then a 3 rotor, because it has less points of failure.

maybe if you look at it this way,

An 3 rotor RX-7 with 380 RWHP is more reliable than a 2 rotor Rx-7 with t380 RWHP. Less stress on the engine = longer life.

But if you proportionally apply the same stress on the 3 rotor than you do on a two. I would say that the two rotor is more reliable because of less components, just like it was stated.
