Expain this one more clearly please.
Failed coolant seals cause overheating,
or coolant loss,
or perhaps oil and coolant mixing in the block (grey sludge),
or exhaust gas bubbling in the radiator.
But
"airation" ???.

there is almost no way for the coolant to mix with the oil in a rotary. bubbles in the oil are normal, just change it more often

well i went to go look at the oil and smell it to check for coolant, and well it smells like gas! that would cause airation it's not just a small amount of bubbles it's a lot of them (i never knew the rotary made bubles). i am going to change the oil tomorrow and find which injector is leaking that's prob where i'm geting the weird idle and hesitation.

airation of the oil? Smells like gas? Have you flooded the engine lately?

Change the oil ASAP.

if this is the criteria your using, then you do not have a blown engine.

I have trouble disposing of my oil because it smells like gas.
All rotaries do.

Fear not.

well i had lost alot of coolant (forgot that i had a leak at a coolant line) so i saw bubbles in the oil and having just finished engines(piston) i remembered oh bubbles in the oil means coolant in the oil. well, it smells a lot more like gas than normal and i am having a hard start problem and hesitation at high rpms and my idle is funke it will idle at 1k then drop down to almost 500 then sometimes it will drop below that i've adjsuted my tps to compensate but if i have the tps adjusted correctly then it just wants to die if i have it turned realy advanced so it will idle

The oil pans for the TIIs have baffles to try to reduce air bubbles in the oil. Pick one up from a wreckers or order one on-line.

And I've NEVER smelled gas in my oil, either on the dipstick or in a drain pan after a change...

well, it's ok i'm not to worried about that now since i have oil on my spark plugs. they were so black and chared and stuff that was prob. what was giving me the hesitation. the gas smell i'm atributing to the flooding but no matter i'm going to just drive it into the ground and rebuild it when she breaks, hope i can get enough miles to get a beater
