In a thrilling saga of determination and mechanical prowess, the team at Rob Dahm's workshop embarked on a mission to conquer Pikes Peak with their three-rotor engine. Last year's intense preparation and execution set the stage for this year's showcase of raw power and resilience. As the team delved into the engine's inner workings, they uncovered challenges like rotor damage and seal issues, pushing them to their limits.

With a keen eye for detail and a touch of humor, the team navigated through the complexities of engine disassembly and rebuilding. From cracked side seals to flattened apex seals, every obstacle was met with expertise and determination. Utilizing an ultrasonic cleaner to efficiently clean engine parts, they spared no effort in ensuring peak performance for the upcoming race at Pikes Peak.

Through meticulous balancing and machining of new Mazda rotors and bearings, the team elevated their engine to new heights of precision and reliability. Innovative techniques to enhance rotor stability and prevent future damage showcased their commitment to excellence. With a focus on optimal performance at high RPMs, the team's attention to detail in rebuilding the engine underscored their unwavering dedication to success on the track.
