Jared,

So how are they doing with the seal problems they were having with 
the Wankel engine that last time I paid them any  attention?  (I 
gotta admit that I haven't really looked at these problems in maybe 
35 years.)  At that time, IIRC, they were having major durability 
problems with them.  Those problems were enough to cause me to decide 
the engine wasn't for me, at least not at that time.  Given 
reasonable maintenance can you run one for a quarter million miles or 
more before a major problem develops like we can with the typical Audi engine?
