Hi all

RX-8 owner here. I'm looking to learn more about the water jacket in rotary engines, but I can't really find good information.

What I know is that the water jacket is a series of hollowed out chambers in the rotor and side housings through which water is pumped for cooling. I have seen a cutaway but it's not really a good picture. Does anyone have a better pic?

Diagrams, anything.

Thanks!

you dont need to know much, just service your cooling system often to keep things fresh and clean!
