Nice.

very cool still cant figure out how it works, the owner makes it sound so simple!

Should work like a radial only the crank is stationary and the "block" rotates around it. Sounds good really from how the guy explained it.

I love those old rotarys. Scary if it came apart

Very cool! Though I think technically its a radial not a rotary, its still a very unique way to power a car!

I would love to have a coates head. I think its the best idea ever. So simple.

**sketchman** · 02-27-2014, 09:22 AM
