  • mazda rx-7 and rx-8 jajaja

  • @KevinChangWang I'm fairly sure the two spark plugs are for a more even burn and helps against misfires, the R26B has 3 per housing.

  • @22ness0hayden reminds me of old school videos

  • I like how this block is all oldschool components! note the 6mm rotor apex seals and the 3 hole peripheral exaust ports.

  • @MDisaster this guy isn't yank though; he's obviously from a british-commonwealth country

  • @Warblade118 "aloominum" is how the yanks pronounce Aluminium. They have their own US English version of the word, written as "Aluminum" and they put the accent on the first U because they want to be "special".

  • The e-shaft is holding the rotor I'm guessing. It has to rotate 3 times faster because the rotor has three apexes and it takes 3 revolutions for the e-shaft just to make 1 revolution of the rotor. There's a 1:3 ration on it.

  • I dont understand how the e-shaft rotates 3 times faster than the rotor... How is that possible if the rotor sits snug on the lobe of the e-shaft???
