Slap some ATF in there and it'll be fine.

Actually what you need to do is mix up some ATF and JB Weld (equal parts) in a bucket. Then you cut up a "YooHoo belt" (whatever the hell that is) and add it to the slurry for consistency. Pour that into the dead rotor. Wait a week.

After a week goes by... well it won't be any better, but at least it's not any worse either.

You know just the right way to get some sort of laughter out of something this sad. Well, it made me laugh.
Thanks

You know, that's not good for the engine. You see, your engine is shot. You can't even drive it like that.

And don't even try to do what Peejay said. That'll junk up the inside of your engine before you can say spam sandwich.

I hope your kidding!
Yes, this is very bad....... and will not run due to running on one rotor..... had noooooo power so the motor is pulled and ready for a rebuild.

Don't forget to drop an Autolite spark plug down the oil filler tube. It won't get all the way down into the oil pan, but that's ok because the engine needs to be rebuilt anyway.

While you're at it, make sure and wire your '6'-port sleeves open - this should make up for the lack of one rotor producing power at low rpm's.

(well, some folks here think it will, anyway...)

Sorry to see your picture, and hopefully your housing hasn't been trashed. Did you feel it happen? How did it occur?

LongDuck, that's actually a good idea. That third port ought to make up for the other rotor.

Apex

Housing I am sure will be trashed also.
I di feel it and it felt like some one hit me in the rear (a jerk sensation) but I was running about 115-120 when it happened. I ran 4th gear out and figured I was going fast enough so I just let off the gas and let the motor/rpms slow the car down well around 80 I put my foot back into it and it still fell. I had no power so the spped dropped even more. I was at my exit so i got off. When I stopped at the bottom of the ramp it stalled. After I checked everything over i started it back up. My sub is right at the ramp of this bypass so I got it home quick and parked it.
