well i did the poor man's compression test... R1 was great! ....... R2 had NO FREAKIN compression at all! is this common to blow an entire rotor? is this a fluke? hmmm does anyone know about any TII motor/drivetrains for sale in TX?

DrifterFD3S

btw its a 88 GXL with only 98000 miles on it

marcus219

You used a regular compression tester with the check valve removed, engine up to OT?...went wide open trottle? 0psi on the rear rotor is possible...3 blown apex seals....

Matlock

It can also have zero compression with two apex seals gone.

marcus219

I feel you on that one g-unit..since it takes two apex seals to seal one rotor face...word.

My bad..

Matlock

Anytime DAWG!

BTW I need some shizzy for my nizzy!

projekt

please don't say g unit

Here in my car, I feel safe as jabar, I can lock all my doors, and be the only one left in cars.

shiet......rizzel for shizzel.

well who invited the crappy rapper? n e ways, i just took the trailing spark plug out of the first rotor and took out the fuel fuse, then cranked it, and repeated for the second rotor, thats what i meant by the "poor mans compression test"

marcus219

I was joking man...did you go WOT, "crappy mechanic"?
j/k

Oh, and Fear Factory weren't rappers ace.

DrifterFD3S

lol anyone who talks like that still sucks
if im just listening for the little ptooo ptooo out of the engine, does it matter if i go WOT

marcus219

So you used no compression tester? I dont talk like that by the way and people that do do suck as well as participate in sausage fests. Go get a real comp. gauge if you can. Better than listening, get someone to crank the car, and stick your thumb over the spark plug hole while they crank it, it should blow it away pretty hard.

DrifterFD3S

i see, well, im glad you see eye to eye with me on the whole sausage-sucker talking, but where in the hell do i get a comp tester? can i just use a boinger one?

marcus219

yup..just make sure you remove the check valve or hold the pressure realease in while doing it. Local auto parts store will carry them..

DrifterFD3S

i'll probably have to tell you that ive had a 69 chevy truck and 69 camaro as my previous and current daily drivers, and am just converting over to the rotary rx7... i did ALL the work on the lego-block engines of the other vehicals, and intend to on this one, but i dont know all the termanology yet. please xplain what the hell a "check valve" or "pressure release" 's are

marcus219

Check valve is a little valve stem on the end of the compression tester (side that has threads to go into spark plug hole), the valve threads out by just turning it. The pressure release is usually located on near the guage itself, its a valve that you just push in, so it wont hold pressure. I prefer the check valve removal way, it will go right back in easy to so you can use it on a boinker motor.

oooooohhh ok kewl its on the tester not n e where on the engine. ok. thanks alot
