Flame suit on.
Just trying to get some ideas on cost here... I think the motor in my seven took a **** for the second time... It locks the starter when you hit it.. Some small oil spots on the ground... I pulled the plugs to see if it was somehow hydro locked since i have been having problems with injectors hanging open... But that wasnt it.. So my question is would it be cheaper for me to put a rotary back in it or to go ahead and just put the LS1 i have in the garage in? The LS1 is complete with tranny and harness so none of that is an issue.. Just looking for some advice here not random people questioning my intelligents because i want to try this out... If its not constructive please dont waste either of our times on replying...
Thanks guys.(and gals)

Compression check... Please re read my post... The motor WILL NOT TURN OVER... wont even think about it.. You hit the key and the starter tries to turn in and thats it...

how long has it been sitting?
if it has been sitting for a long time, then its probably carbon locked. If it hasn't been sitting for a long time then it should crank even if it doesn't fire up....

Sounds like you spat an apex seal and it's lodged in the exhaust port. I've had that happen a time or two
Drop the small block in it. You will be VERY happy with the results. I know I am

ya, i have my money on ether a carbon lock or a rolled apex seal, if it is a seal count your housings bad, if it is carbon lock, there is still a chance the housings are pitted and bad. have a good day

Yank that engine and never look back. It's way more fun over on the dark side:

Yes, legal action is in the works, but it takes time.

On top of that you're not going to change anyone's opinion, so unless you're into getting carpel-tunnel syndrome over an internet squabble about something as trivial as the engine of a car, I'd advise you to stop making these kind of useless post-***** comments.

Yeah and stupid quotes like this make me want to buy all the RX7's i can find and motor swap them... If you dont want someone to do a V8 conversion you know how to stop them? Buy the damn car or STFU... LT-1's are good motor.. A pain in the *** but really good motors.. They also love boost....
