    The only thing i find wrong with my motor, is that the push rod is becoming a little outdated, according to many people, which I think it works just fine. Other than that everything is up to par. With you're motor many things are not good (as far as I am concerned), such as the wearing of apex seals. Whenever you mod a Mazda rotary motor it actually make the motor "off balance". This may not show with minor bolt ons, it is like the more gunpowder you put in the grenade the more it is going to fuck shit up.

    People who KNOW about rotaries know how to build them perfectly fine and make them extremely reliable. When idiots buy a turbo rotary, FD, or build an NA one without knowing anything, then problems come, then people cry how the rotary sucks. I'm not jumping sides but the rotary is far from a shit motor. Just as the LSx engines are far from a shit motor.

    In comparison, for the pros vs. the cons I would have to say that the LS2 is a better motor than the 13b. I am not making this claim because I have an LS2, I am not that biased to my motor or Chevy.

    good point there simon.. having and owning a rotary powered car is about learning and appreciating what you have and how it was created.. thats my opinion on that..
    Peek-a-boo mofucka what now?!
