Known Issues

Apex Seal Wear:

A primary concern for rotary engines; premature wear can lead to loss of compression and engine failure. Regular oil checks and using appropriate oil are critical.

Carbon Buildup:

Carbon deposits can form in the rotor housing and exhaust ports, affecting performance and requiring specific cleaning procedures (e.g., decarbonization).

Starter Motor Issues:

Some models experienced starter motor failures or slow cranking, especially when the engine is hot.

Oil Consumption:

Rotary engines inherently consume oil for lubrication. Monitoring and topping up oil levels between changes is essential.
