Unhappy blew some seals :(

well it tures out that i did infact blow 2 seals in the rear rotor. i did a poor mans compression test and im pretty sure it was 2 seals and the one that is intact is reading 60. car idles around 500 600 and sounds totally different and has no power under 4k im dead broke pretty much so the rims that are on my car in my sig are up for sale or if anyone is looking for some S5 rims

hmm

if you blow 2 seals...don't you get no compression? each compression "area" has a seal at both ends. ie: one seal blown = 2 sides with no compression. not that it matters, still have to rebuild . best of luck getting her going.

this is ur chance for a port job!!! always look on the good side of a rebuild or anything that breaks on an rx7, its just another way to improve your car.

If that's the case, my car will be DAMN quick when it's done.

my car started to idle funny got a compression test done and it had two low bounces. its probably a corner seal spring has colasped. oh well time to get it dowelled, 3mm seals, 3 window bearings+more oil press and s6 corner seal springs also more porting if possible depending what is done already
