Not many know of of this engine but the people who do either love it like myself or hate it. Hopefully i can generate more love for this engine with this post. In this post i will give you 3 pros and three cons of the Rotary Engine.
Pros:
- Simple design, the rotary engine is very simple a 2 rotor only has 3 moving parts and is a good starting point for people to learn how engines work.
- Less vibration due to its unique design the Rotary Engine can produce high levels of power and higher RPM this makes them faster than piston engines.
- Rotary engines are reliable as long as you do the proper maintenance and treat them well these engines will last forever.
Cons:
- Because of its simple design oil leaks are extremely common and can cost a lot to fix.
- Rotary Engines burn oil like crazy you always need to check your oil you cant forget to check your oil or you could burn out your apex seals.
- Because of the Rotary Engines design it burns a lot of gas also which means high emissions for your car.
Here is a picture i made of all the Rotary powered cars from Mazda yet except the rx-8 cause imo the rx-8 was teribble. Enjoy!!!
