Red face Apex seal
I just bought my rx7 non turbo About 3 weeks ago and i was going down the highway and it started to back fire and hardly run. So i did a compression test and the front rotor was good the back one has no compression. So i think it is the apex seal. But what i was woundering how to get to the apex seal, Do i need to drop the motor? My friend said that thair is plate on top of the motor that i can take off and see the rotors so i can replace the seals. I was woundering if that is true or not i do not want to tear it apart to see. I have alot of performance parts on it so i would like to keep the car and not crush it. I cant find anyone that will buy it were i live.

Damn dude I'm sure you could sell that. At least part it out or something. If you're gonna crush it I'd be happy to take those performance parts off your hands.

You wanna crush a perfectly fine car other than the fact that it doesnt run? Get some pics and put it up for sale here, I'm sure someone will buy it.
