I am 18 and I will be graduating this up coming May.Im also going
to have a FD a little before Graduation!I want to learn how to work with the Rotary Engines,not just for a hobby but for a whole
career.Have any of you taken any classes to learn about these engines?Do you know of any Rotary Shops in Michigan?Should I just start mechanical school and find a way to get into Rotary Specialty?Is there someone I can hire to find a way to get me started in a Rotary engine based career?
:confused:

Thanks for any info at all.
Later!

You wanna really learn the rotary?
Then read the forums engine building areas ( I just so happen to moderate one at nopistons.com :)
Also buy your self a 2st gen RX7. They are cheap enough on parts that youcan remove, port and do whatever youlike.
That is really the only way your gonna learn.
There is not much to learn to be honest with you.
It only have 3 moving parts :D :rollin

I think as a sideline you should fund your business through selling American bits (body kits and so on) cheaply to us so we don\'t have to pay extortionate UK prices! :D

How would I make money selling them cheap?

Well just sell them at your normal American price. It seems cheap to us as everything here is so expensive :D
