Interesting info in here. Thanks for all the help . I am sure I will come up with some more questions, but I think my brain is full for now haha.
Oh, it's not even close to being full. Read the following post by RotaryGod if you dare! Here's a little preview:

In case anyone is curious I did some math to determine what the 13B rotary would be sized at if it were a piston engine. The results are pretty neat. First of all the rotary would be a 3.9 liter, 6 cylinder engine. It would be a 6 stroke. Each cylinder would be 6.54" across (damn big piston!) but the stroke length would only be 1.18" in length peak to peak.
