Engines are not light!!!

cubic capacity the rotory is actually a 1.3 as far as i know it was agreed by the dvla and insurance companys to class them as a 2.6 because of the power they produce (plus gordan can get more on tax for those unlucky ones that have uk cars)

yeah cos i thought each rotor is about 650cc so 2 of them works out at 1.3 obviously the rotor has 3 sides so if you added them all up your be closer to 3.9 mines on the v5 as a 1.3 everyone says im a lucky sod cos i get my tax for 63quid but in comparison to their normal boring piston cars i use the diffrence i save in petrol in an hour or two

Erm, no reason to multiply by 3... The swept volume of the two combustion chambers is 1308 cc in a 13B. As has been mentioned the 2.6 thing was purely a DVLA fudge due to the disproportionate power output of rotaries for their displacement compared to a boinger (I guess their way of translating a rotary combustion cycle to a 4-stroke).

I think we shouldl have a \'strongman\' comp at Rotorstock, furthest walk carrying a stripped 13b. Any competitors?

Come on should be a 20b with turbos atleast to make it interesting

To all,
It\'s not brave or cool to lift heavy items, only the fool can do it and what\'s happen when its hurt,  proper be off work for a forenight or no sex and  lifting your pint!!
It\'s not funny!
Use proper lifting equipment and look after yourself and f**k your friends

I\'m a rotorhead and what\'s your?:2Rolleyes

My back is still a little sore from lifting my engine the other day! OW!
