Rotary Engine Timing
Okay... so I'm sitting here talking cams with a couple buddies... Then I start thinking... how do you control/adjust timing in a rotary engine?! So I thought about it and came up with a few possibilities but i'm sure they're wrong...
Anyways, I searched "Rotary timing" on the forum search and nothing came up...
Can someone clear up this simple matter for me, and tell me just how the timing is adjusted on an rotary?
thanks!

Turn the distributor!
Unless you mean port timing... which is where porting comes in.
Get a bridge port and then brag to your buddies that your engine has the equivalent of a 405 degree cam

yeah porting adjusts the port opening/closing timing, with the intake ports - the higher you go the later they closer, the furter out you go (bridge port or the likes) the earlier it opens., with the exhuast ports, the lower you go the earlier it opens, the higher you go the later it closes.
