They are cool until they blow the apex seals out... LOL

My friend in General motor's training had a new RX... and it was beautifully done, very fast, big turbo and such yatta yatta,

It blew them out twice while he had it. lol.

The only way to "blow" the apex seals is to run a turbo engine with WAY WAY WAY too much boost. A lot of those turbo RX-7 guys were overboosting and toasting engines. No different than overboosting a piston engine. Something is gonna give. There are a lot of old wives tales running around about rotary engines... mainly because the average mechanic does not understand them or know anything about them.
