Problems:
Apex seal failure
Apex seals in rotary engines are prone to wear and failure, leading to loss of compression and power.
Overheating
Rotary engines can run hot due to their design, leading to potential overheating issues.
Oil consumption
Rotary engines often consume more oil than piston engines, requiring frequent oil checks and top-ups.
Carbon buildup
Carbon can build up in the combustion chambers, affecting performance and efficiency.
Vacuum leaks
The engine's vacuum system may develop leaks, leading to rough idling and performance issues.
Ignition problems
Rotary engines can experience issues with ignition timing and spark plug wear, affecting engine performance.
Coolant leaks
Coolant seals in rotary engines can fail, leading to leaks and overheating problems.
Rotor housing wear
The rotor housings can wear over time, leading to reduced compression and the need for a rebuild.
