RX7s don't sound like a normal piston engine while cranking, if they are not experienced with rotaries i would take it to another shop.

you need to do a compression test fo sho... its okay to use a piston compression tester to see if you get any at all in one rotor... but it seems unlikely there would be no compression in EITHER rotor, eh?
