front rotor = 1 apex seal

well its official. did a compression test and the front rotor on my NA has one apex seal.

the engine blew the other night when i started it cold. not ragging or anything, i just tried to start it and out went the apex seal. i thought i had just fouled out my spark plugs so i changed them to no avail.

we later did a compression check to verify that the engine is effed. then i had to drive it about 4 miles on one rotor to get it home. so im sure that wasnt good for the front rotor and housing...

good thing i have a turboII motor waiting to go in!

but yeah, NA: front rotor = 1 apex seal.
