Angry Motor Is Gone!

Yep, word is it's running on one rotor. I'm freaking pissed!!! Well, I need to know where I can get one as cheap as possible, please list my options.

Anything from j-spec, to remanufactured.

do you know this from a compression check or other verifiable info? sometimes one rotor will flood, and it'll act like it's blown- check upper plugs real quick for "wetness"

I had it checked out my JR's rotary shop in Jersey. He told me flat out the apex seal blew, and its running on one rotor.

Keep them coming guys.. I need a cheap streetported engine.

How about this?

I'm planning on sending in the core after I drop in the rebuilt because I need this car back on the road asap. I can't wait a couple weeks.

Should let ITO rebuild your engine, and forget about it for the next 5 years

ITO knows about his stuff
