I finally got around to checking the compression on my 87 GXL and as I suspected the results were not good.
(Front- 100 p.s.i)
(Rear- 0 p.s.i)
I checked it lots of times just to make sure but nothing changed.

Are there other ways to make sure engine is no good??

 

naw i would say u have one rotor blown.. will it run on one rotor

 

i would think even a badly damaged rotor would read more than 0

 

Yes it does still turn on eventhough it is running on one rotor but it wont stay on.
Besides it smokes like crazy I mean exagerating white clouds of smoke.

 

lol nope, i had a badly damaged rotor, i still keep it, the engine blew and the rotor has some scars about 1/4" deep, as well as the rotor housing

it will run on one rotor, but you will get horrible fuel mileage, you'll have absolutely no power, just not a smart thing to do.

i suppose if you want to see whats its like driving a yugo, go ahead and drive it on one rotor lol

 

Here are a couple of pix
I hope they work this time

Damn those pictures are some beautiful white screens!



Ok let me ask you this, WHY woudl you want to run your car on half the power?

to me that's like foreplay without the sex.

yeah it may get the job done but more or less it sucks gas, you have no power. good luck getting up to speed on a freeway and not getting nailed in the *** by a semi, basically it's not entirely safe too. just suck it up, send the engine to rotary reserruction and give kevin 1000 and you'll be good to go for a few years at least!

The pictures seem to be working fine I just checked them out.
The truth I am not driving this car at the moment. I just picked her up last week and for $200 **** that is worth it.
Thanx I never about sending my engine to rotary resurrection before
Thanx

 

200 bucks. nice steal. even if the body is somewhat rusty that'd be well worth it for the core alone. i'll buy the car from you for 300 bucks

BTW pics don't work for me :/

Matt

and kevin is exceptional. look around the board for stuff posted on his work. AND i'll also advertise for him for free to you cuz i'm a cool guy (hey kevin if i can refer like 10 people to you wanna hook me up with a free streetport sometime on a rebuild? HA HA)
