Very Interesting, Barry

No pics at this moment. I'll look and see if I can find the info when I get home. That excerpt came from the most recent book on the rotary egine (released 2007 or 2008) and this section's source was an SAE paper from 30 years ago. I'll let you know which one (in case you can access the SAE papers) in a bit.

But use caution! I cut through on the lower side of the Trailing plug. A bad combination of new carbide burs and being too large. 1/4" long shaft would probably be best.
