hello ron,
   
   have you checked rotorway?... my experience on the rw 100...is that it is a hybrid of all kinds of auto parts..  my friend KEN MINTZ,, used one on his varieze for a couple of  years UNTIL ..IT FAILED AND HE CRASHED...3 YEARS AGO...
  luckily he walked away...the varieze is still being re-built by him...he has installed a 0-290D SINCE....
  and i do KNow THAT he still has that RW engine in his garage...E-MAIL HIM...kmintz2@cox.net :?

Thanks for the reply. I'd sure like to understand why the engine failed. Also, Rotorway is a new company now and doesn't associate with any of it's older engines. Wonder why? Ron
