yes, you let a rotary go and there goes the motor. Not just some headwork.

well pardon my previous dumb question then, i was just wondering, because i've never heard of a rotary catastrophically letting go... that's all

Sure they go from time to time. Overheat and warp a housing. Pop an apex seal and listin to ti fly out the exhaust :P Just kep it topped up with oil, treat it nicely and it will last a long time.

lol... i just thought ingesting a valve thru a piston was a BIT extreme but i guess anything's possible.
