Why Are Rotary Engines So Bad at Norris Whitesell blog

Why Are Rotary Engines So Bad. Fortunately, understanding common rotary engine problems makes them much easier to own and love. A lack of mainstream success no doubt. However, rotary engines are known for poor reliability. So why did rotary engines never really take off, and why has the concept been all but abandoned by the one manufacturer that. Rotary engines have an aura of cool. The lubrication must enter the crankcase through a hollow crankshaft before it can reach the entire engine. In a piston motor, you can have a piston seize and cause all kinds of damage, but in a rotary. Unlike piston engines, rotaries are almost immune to catastrophic failure. In games of top trumps, the v12 might have been king, but a rotary was a joker, a wild card. In fact, “devil’s claw marks” is the most common failure mode on rotary engines, and at least 80% of rebuilds at relatively low mileages were required because of it.
