Thanks for taking the time to write this! This will also make for an excellent gift... to me!

Snagged it for cheap at a Borders. Very well written and will definitely teach you something whether you're just getting into the rotary engine or are already knowledgeable on various aspects of it.

Have had the book for some time now and makes for an EXCELLENT resource book. I learned a lot of interesting facts and recommend every rotary owner to invest into this book.
Very up to date!!!
This will set you on the right path if your a newb and enrich your knowledge if you've been around. :icon_tup:

Worth every penny!

I do wish the book never ended. Someone should sticky the book into the FAQ.

rotarygod 06-17-09 10:48 AM

Is that the Chinese version that reads from right to left? ;)

Imagine if this book was top seller and people actually read the thing cover to cover... your PM box would never open. :lol: I saw your mention in the book pretty cool to even include the board name.

He spelled it wrong though. It's all one word. No caps. Oh well. Cool nevertheless and I'm very honored.

I'm actually in there twice. The second one is in the intake section which I didn't expect at all. There is also a direct quote from Brian Cain (BDC) in there in the porting section.

patman 06-19-09 12:52 PM

Glad to see it is all done Mark, can't wait to get my copy! I'd love to help on the sequel as well when you write that one....

rotarygod 06-19-09 01:00 PM

^ I thought of you when I read the line about how some people have made their own oil metering bypass adapter.

fredox19 06-23-09 05:00 PM

Just order it, can't wait to get it. Currently rebuilding my motor, almost done with my porting. So there should be some good info there before I put everything together.

fredox19 06-29-09 07:08 PM

Got the book and loving it. Learned a lot so far, going to get the turbo book pretty soon too.

coreypinsd 06-29-09 07:14 PM
