Without being a complete newbie, i know the engines are completely different, but should they sound lawnmower-esque? Not majorly, but sound a little rattley?
 
Lol this is really hard to type what sound i mean!

? Far from it, A rotary has no Valves etc so there is No cam noise i.e. Not rattley. As for LawnMower? Have you herd an FD? They have there own sound (bit like a Strait 6 i supose??)

Well yes because i went to see one at the weekend. Could have been cause the engine was cold? Just sounded like ticking i suppose? I found a vid on youtube that had the same sound on idle with the bonnet up so feel a bit better.
 
Cant be major though as it had a rebuild about a month ago...

Thanks for that grizzly, it did sound exactly like that at the exhaust end so :).
 
Just suppose it was because it was the 1st rotary ive ever heard in the flesh so doesnt register as sounding normal under the bonnet, if u catch my drift.

I read once it was hard to tell what a Tuned NA sounded like becouse of the Ear plugs ;)
