However, the rotary engine’s design also presents some unique challenges when it comes to maintenance. The apex seals, which seal the rotor against the housing, are subject to significant wear and tear, requiring regular attention. Additionally, rotary engines are known to consume more oil than their piston-based counterparts, necessitating frequent oil checks and top-ups.

When it comes to readily available sources around the world, one of the most obvious is good old fashioned water. Around 71% of the surface of the Earth is covered in water, whether it be from lakes, rivers, or the ocean. If we could theoretically power our vehicles with water, there would be more than enough fuel to go around for years on end./ h# D' O% j# j
The noise is created by metal parts being given more room to move due to the rubber gripping them becoming perished. You may notice it more when going over bumps, or when turning and shifting the weight of the car.6 \/ y [+ i x8 M m. }4 g
As Hillsons said, cold starts are hard. So are warm starts, but to a lesser degree. The engine has no oil pressure when off, and starting it again causes very slight but very bad metal on metal contact. When warm this is much less contact than when cold, as the oil is usually primed and circulated. When cold the oil settles a bit and moves away from bearings.
3 |7 O, G$ F/ d- c AAnother issue which also can impact emissions: it’s challenging to seal the rotor when it’s surrounded by vastly different temperatures. Remember, intake and combustion are occurring simultaneously, but in very different locations in the housing. This means that the top of the housing is relatively cool, while the bottom of the housing is much hotter. From a sealing standpoint, this is problematic, as you’re trying to create a metal-to-metal seal with metals which are operating at significantly different temperatures. By using coolant jackets to help even out the heat load, this problem can be reduced, but never fully diminished.
