Checking out a blowed up FC?

ok guys, I'm going tomorrow to check out a 90 GTU with a blowed up engine. My problem is that since I cant drive the car, its kinda hard to find other problems... tranny, brakes, etc
Any last minute tip for me?

Depending on how many seals went, you can still test drive it. My motor had a completely dead rear rotor (not 1 seal left on it) and 2 front apex's were severely damaged.... Mine would start on its own before I removed it from my car.

If a seal let go its already damaged.

Lol, that sounds like when I had to drive mine to my new house on one rotor because I dropped a nut in the front exhaust port putting on my header. It is amazing how well a rotary runs with half of it blown.
