12A Rotary Idle

This is a completely stock Mazda 12A twin-rotor engine at idle. The block is 100% original unrestored with only 63,000 miles on it. The car was built May 1978. I would like to see how long she goes before I need to overhaul it. Not too many piston engines can sit for nearly thirty years with fifteen of them rusting in the forest and then run THIS SMOOTH. A true testiment to Kenichi Yamamoto's vision of the rotary. The turbine-like smoothness is easily seen here. You could rest a nickel on edge right on the block without it falling! (well, almost)
