4RotorRocket, 3RotorRocket, RotorRocket101, RotorRocket and how many other user names that you have.



If you want to learn about rotary engines, there are a number of ways to do so:



First and foremost important.



Learn your craft! You hear this in all professions. Once you master your craft, you can begin to establish a reputation for yourself.



You can learn by going to a technical school which specializes in automotive work. UTI is one in California.



You can learn from going to community college. They usually have automotive classes.



You can learn by working for a shop.



From there, the possibilities are endless....

for real basic stuff, www.howstuffworks.com is really good. I'm not sure where to learn about the nitty-gritty stuff, though.
