[tubjub]

see why i hate pistons ?

here's a damn head off of a 5.0L ford...




here's the piston view...





and here's the head off of my toyota ...





now, correct me if i'm wrong but i don't know....
do rotaries get this destructive when something's not right ????

[FDTT]

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

[tubjub]

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

[FDTT]

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.
