mucho appreciative bro,

its just a shame that that engine blew today with only 3100 miles. yes 31 hundred. absolutely no compression on rotor 2 and about 55 psi on rotor one. i spent over $6000.00 on that rebuild project too while doing all my own labor. im gonna go cry now. we wont mention the manufacturer at this time.

Holy **** dude. Thats unbelieveable! I see you have a 91...have you considered checking or replacing your OMP? I ask because I had a friend who went through 2 rebuilds because of a bad pump, and it wasnt setting off any codes to let you know it went bad, but nonetheless the engine was running with no oil to the seals each time. When I had my 89, I ran premix religiously because of this. Something to consider.
