so the other morning I was driving home and while I was making a corner my car stalled...I was like wtf?!?!? so I rolled into a nearby parking lot, and tried to start it...it turned over really really hard, but did eventually start after 2 or 3 tries...I made it home cuz I want too far away...and it sat in my garage...I thought I got water in my intake cuz it was raining like mad...but later on I went to start it and it was just all fucked up...I dont know how to explain it but the engine just sounded different...almost like a clunking noise?? if I had to guess I would think that a rotor is out of balance or an apex seal is fucked and the rotor isnt staying in contact with the housing...cuz when it idles, its at 500 RPM's and it sounds like a tank...but once I rev it up just a little bit, like around 2 G's it sounds a little better...but still sounds weird...and not only that I have a huge oil leak...I checked my oil and it was really really really low...so I dumped 4 quarts into it and now I have about 1 quart on my garage floor...but that is just my oil pan leaking, I already know that...but could my engine be toast?? I am thinking it prolly is cuz it just blows out blue smoke the whole time its running, and I mean it pours out blue smoke...in about 5 min. at idle my garage was filled with smoke...I am seriously considering my apex seals as the cause...and if anyone knows of some place in west michigan that rebuilds rotary engines that would be great...otherwise it looks like brand new engine time...but thanks for your help guys...and sorry this is sooo long but it might help determine what is wrong with my car...so peace out and thanks...

SMOKED ,do a compressoin test to confirm

 

does anyone know of someplace that I can get it rebuilt in michigan?? or somewhere I can get another engine. I want to find a T2 but I havent yet...or if anyone else wants to get rid of an engine...a 13B then you should let me know and maybe I can take it off your hands for you...hint hint...but yeah...I will have to track down a compression tester...should be able to though...
