I can't think of many very new ideas in engine development -
improvements made with materials, maybe.

Petrol injection? It's not that old.


Just a thought. Is the Wankel rotary engine still being used by anyone? I

These engines are why I mentioned head gasket thickness somewhere...

You've put "your foot in it", Chris. Find out more about these engines, and
