yay back in the game

well i brought a rebuilt engine for 200$ last week aparently it had 1000-2000miles that mazda had rebuilt them self.
i wasnt sure on the deal but went for it since he was my mate and figured he wouldnt lie to me.

i compression tested with a fresh battery and a lil oil to lube the internals i got a strong 130 pressing the release valve and 160 not holding the valve.

the compression was the same on all faces both rotors.
i am very happy now
as i was depressed because i tore my t2 engine down and both housings had chattering an some scratch marks from couple broken seals

heres a picture how i compression test lol
sorry lil hazey i was clearing out the oil so i could get a more positive reading

and heres my seven for those that havnt seen "yes lots to be done"
