Default RE: Need info from OS Wankel engine owner..

My experience suggests Wankels don't lose their seals they lose the springs that keep the seals tight. The leaf springs are not expensive or hard to replace. Run any fuel you like, at least 20% oil (castor or synthetic or blend) just keep it RICH. Overheating causes the leaf springs to get brittle. The Wankel is happiest at 14,000 rpm.
