Argentinian 7 (do you guys remember me?)

HELLO!

I was unable to open my engine because the flywheel nut wont come off

3 days and 3 guys later, and the goddam thing would not move.

Took RRTEC advice and went for the impact gun. (not even a powerfull one, this was powered with 12v)
15 seconds later the nut came loose

As usual, "normal" does not apply to my car

if you have loooooow compression and the car wont start unless you push it, what do you think? worn apex seals, fucked up housings.

Well.... I opened mine.

The housings look like new!!! no chrome flake at all!

but............

the apex groove on the rotors is waaaaay expanded and worn. Lack of lubrication I presume.

So, what advice could you guys gimme, besides double checking on my oil pump and OMP?

Any input welcome!

and of course, posts are worthless without pics so....

Note the 5th pic down. Did the metal round thing fall out when you took it apart or was it in there and just not pictured?
