could you take a good shot of the table you made for a bench run? I really like the idea beeter than driving in a break in.

What type of ignition did you use, cooling,etc..

good job.

Large Street port with some special exhaust porting...

I didn't make the table.. my builder made that.. He's using some special intake with carb attatched. Every engine he builds he cranks it on the table for at least 2 hours.. Just to make sure everything is working correctly..

Who is your builder. Could i email him for more info?
Or do they frequent the board at all? Maybe they can chime in. Thanks. It is a great idea to save time. if there is a problem. ... Such as I found with the new remans i got.

He's an old school rotary engine builder.. He's been building rotary engine since 1970's, building 10a's 12a's and 13b's.. He currently owns mint r100, rx2, rx3, rx4, and rx7's (I think he said he owns 20 rotary cars total).. Awesome guy and after waiting 2 months.. I say its definitely worth the wait.. He even built his own lap table and all.. After 3 total hours on the stand, we are going to check to make sure it has good compression.. if it doesn't, he's going to break it down and troubleshoot.. but i don't think its going to happen..

He does not get on the board and I'm not sure if he really wants to share all the secrets..... He specifically told me to not to give out his info and he will only build to those who I recommend.... and that he will only build 1 engine per month.. But I tell ya... He takes his time building his engine..

i was really intrested in the stand. Not looking for engine info. I don't think he has a secret potion for break in performance but who knows?

Soo i understand if he thinks showing us the stand will give away his secrets! Oh well time to weld some metal together i guess.

Sorry about that.. i guess I misunderstood you.. Far as table goes, its just a metal table.. nothing really special..
