and I was wondering if there has ever been a design other than a rubber o-ring placed in a flimsy cast iron lip. Wouldn't a malleable gasket like a head gasket be much more reliable?

I realize that you would possibly have to modify or make new irons or aluminum housings...

and it would have to be in a recess to avoid creating clearance issues, but other than that why isnt it feasible on a next-gen rotary or even a current one?

 

I always thought big *** AN style housings would be cool.....just seal with a large flare.

 

Interesting... but there has to be a more durable way to do it without creating clearance issues. Does anyone ever re-inforce the coolant channels where they commonly break and allow the seal to slip out?

You will probably need to give a sales engineer your specs.
