the spyder posted:In other news, gently caress. Astro is backordered for replacement mandrels and I'm trying to wrap this up this week. I'm tempted to weld the nutsert in. Maybe I will try that later... Take a long bolt, a nut and a suitable thrust bearing (ebay) and have you own DIY slow as gently caress Riv-Nut tool. I'm too poor/cheap/lazy to buy the right tool, and my DIY one works pretty well.

I'll just leave this here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osJSoen8hxQ So going by you buying a 20B and not making one, have i been lied to that you can just bolt Mazda rotaries together to make bigger engines? Is it not possible to simply bolt two 13Bs together? (I was told some years ago that the crank isn't a single piece, and so a number of blocks can be combined to make a larger engine.)

the spyder posted:I should take a picture of the two 12a's bolted together at the shop. You can indeed bolt two together and the two rotor motors all used a one piece crank. The three rotor uses a two piece crank. You can also machine front and rear irons to turn them into a 3 rotor- you just need the shaft and thick center plate. Oh, cool! Looking at rotary stuff, some of it is sooooo cheap over here. Especially (complete) RX-8s and later 13Bs/Renesis engines. Making a 26B would be great fun, but i know practically nothing about rotaries.
