Possibly, but its a lot of extra art work for a not paticularly exciting feature

Pretty important if you ever do rotaries though

while technically true, that's kind of the default or at least in the later years. I'm not sure if nsu or mazda tried 1 spark plug early on. The only other spark plug count I can think of is 3 and that was only for a race car engine.

Oh lord, a 1 plug rotary would be BAAAAD, it'd probably try to rotate backwards/explode to death I'd suspect

Well half the fun of owning a rotary is the ever constant threat of it exploding on you

no it will run but only if it the lower plug. had a small electrical fire that burn two wires up, thanks to some jerk that had to steal the sub and amp. was only 17 and for some dam reason I didn't think to just make a new one with speaker wire. It ran like shit but I got home.

I'm getting quite fed up of having that 'fun' from every bloody engine!

We're talking about "Fun" in the Dwarf Fortress sense of course (anyone who's played Dwarf Fortress will hopefully know what I mean)

Does a melted cat count?
Though I have rather less elephant related engine issues...

I unbolted my cat and bashed its insides out with a screwdriver, and now the RSPCA is after me
