ok, i have had someone tell me that i may have blown the apex gasket(?) and that means a new engine most likely. one reason i'm thinking maybe i didn't mess up the rotor is that this didn't occur while driving, or i should say i didn't notice anything while driving. I drove home normally and parked for the night, then came out next morning to start and got the problem.

i have spark, gas pumping, and it just spins fairly smoothly like there is a loss of compression. i was told that removing the spark plugs and squirting some oil in there was a way to make a seal again? if i try this should i stop fuel from pumping ? or does anyone know of a better way to fix this problem?

it may be that my engine is done, but would like to make sure before i take it to be worked on. any ideas/help is appreciated. thanks

Pull the EGI fuse, spin it for 10-20 secs. Replace EGI and try to start.

If that doesn't work, do it over without spark plugs too, and spin for about 30 secs.

got it started , thanks for the help.

this was the first time i ever had this happen, how often should i expect this, should i be afraid of going places until i install a fuel switch?

As long as you let the car fully warm up before shutting it back off then you should be okay.
