A bit of help identifying engines needed, being new to the Wankel engine i thought it would be a good idea to purchase one to pull to bits and see what's what, well last week two 12a engines came up on ebay and the seller stated in the ad they could be removed at any time so i rang him up and offered what i thought was a price i could afford as a learning aid, i was promptly told that he had being offered 250 for one engine and as i was only going to strip them to gain a bit of knowledge i left the seller to run his auction, the next day one of the engines was removed and the other left to run, then after looking for another 12a it seemed that spares were getting short in supply so i left it to the dying death and placed a bid which won me the engine, a few days later just before a friend was going to pick them up i had a phone call saying the other chap had let him down and did i want the other engine as well, so i made him an offer and ended up with both for less than i had offered him 6 days earlier,
Now i have them both here the first thing i notice is the exhaust ports are different, the one that looks like it had an independent oil cooler has smaller ports and two tubes sticking up, the one with the attached oil cooler (later engine?) has larger ports and it looks like the tubes removed, i have loads to learn can anyone shed any light on this for me,
Cheers, Ray
