What about Rotative Engine ?

1. Source : https://www.atkinsrotary.com/category_s/105.htm

Another complex maintenance operation for a rotary engine is a porting and polishing job. Porting
and polishing the engine's intake and exhaust ports can increase airflow and improve engine
performance. This process involves grinding and smoothing the ports to create a smoother flow
path for the air and fuel mixture.
Porting and polishing is typically done by a specialized engine builder or machine shop. The
process involves disassembling the engine and removing the intake and exhaust manifolds. The
engine builder then uses specialized tools to grind and polish the ports, removing any rough spots
or obstructions.
After the porting and polishing is complete, the engine builder may also install larger intake and
exhaust valves, as well as upgraded valve springs, to further improve airflow and engine
performance. The engine builder may also recommend other modifications, such as an upgraded
camshaft or ignition system, to maximize the benefits of the porting and polishing work.
Porting and polishing can significantly improve the performance of a rotary engine, but it is a
complex and time-consuming process that should only be done by experienced professionals.
Improper porting and polishing can actually harm engine performance, so it is important to choose
a reputable engine builder or machine shop for this type of work.
Proper maintenance of a rotary engine can help prevent the need for a complete engine rebuild.
Regular oil changes, spark plug replacements, and other routine maintenance can help ensure that
the engine runs smoothly and efficiently for many years.
