<VV> New engine possibility for the Corvair

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

 Quick question, what apex seal problems? Last I checked, those problems disappeared when Mazda switched from graphite seals to chilled iron back in 1973!!!! You know, 38 model years ago? So few of those early engines exist, I doubt anyone would have one, or want to use one.

Why put the Mazda Wankel seal problems into a Corvair?
