just wondering when you put the rotary back together how do you set timming cuz i did not see any timing marks or anything on the rotors or the gears. any info will be greatly appreciated
 
ok but what about when you take the rotors out and how do you know what place they go back in is there marks for that
 
sorry for the newbie questions its my first rotory rebuild have done a number of piston engines but never the rotory
 
get the engine video if u don't know what u are doing..

Rotor placement really is not important.. just have to know which way to instal them so the plates come together right. not like piston engines where the piston needs to be at TDC
 
yes and no.. to build the engine and get the plates to sit right.. I think the front rotor has to lay at 12 o'clock.. then as u spin the shaft to get the intermediate housing on the rear rotor will lay at like 5 o'clock.
