  6. Go in through the gate nearest Kumeu township for display cars.Best route there if coming from the shore is to go left at the roundabout to taupaki and then go around the back of the showgrounds to the entry.
  7. Cut a hole through the treeline so you can easy haul swapmeet parts all day.
  8. Looks superb!! Excited to see this at Kumeu assuming it's gonna be there. It reminds me of this song:
  9. Make your own thread in this section (other projects).
  10. Since the beginning of this project O.S. decided to discontinue production of the Wankel engine, this in turn has obviously been met with an increased demand for second hand engine and parts. As the Type II engine is the rarest on auction sites, I decided to purchase a used condition Type I (first of the PP engines) and use that as a base for the project. The first step was to dismantle the engine to see its condition. Disassembly proved quite a challenge with one main setback. Whilst removing the rotor gear the head of my 2mm hex bit broke off into the cap screw proving a pain to get out, only for me to cock it all up and loosen the rotor from the vice chipping part of the rotor where the apex seal sits. The rotor could be reused but I have since bought a replacement. Unsurprisingly the engine is simple in architecture with no side seals just apex seals held in by two mini leaf springs. The beauty lies in the finish of the parts. Without side seals the rotorhousing, rotor and end plates are all surface ground to ensure the engine has compression. As I have two generations of peripheral port O.S. Wankels I got rotorhoe to take some extra images images of the differences between generations. From what I have read and can be seen in the image above the Type II has a machined rotor housing and rotor as well as a newer glowplug, carburettor and cap screw fasteners. The remainder of the parts carry over from the Type I. Thus, I aim to improve the Type I where possible and encompassing some of the Type II upgrades.
