Ask your brother how he thinks a rotary without apex seals can develop compression? Then send him to the link in my sig so he can read the FSM and learn the basics of any rotary.

I heard the valve springs on the 12A tend to loose their elasticity after a while.

I heard if you pour blinker fluid down the carb of any rotary, it builds compression for 3 days.

Wow, a thread that started out in the 1st gen section, then was moved to the noobie section.

Now that is a slap in the face!

just make sure you watch your muffler bearings in the 1st gens, they tend to spin after 80k miles due to the pounding they take from the massive torque your 12a produces. this can be fixed with forged pistons from CP.
