Lost compression in rear rotor

I lost compression im my rear rotor. I was wondering if that always means a rebuild or are there other things to check?

If you lost all the compression on the rear rotor it means taht it will have to be rebuilt.

Real low I didnt use anything but my thumbs on the sparkplug holes but the difference between the front and rear were unmistakeable.
what all goes into a rebuild. And how much is an 87 rex na worth with a blown rotor?

It will shoot my thumb of the first rotor and I can keep my thumb on the second rotor. So I am pretty sure. I dont have enough money for a rebuild so I think I will sell it as is on ebay or something. It is a shame to cause it is in pretty decent shape. And I hate to see another rx 7 bite the dust.
