OMP/Premix Question....
Alright I purchased a 10th anniversary from a guy about hmm 3 months ago, and have now finally gotten around to messing with it. It came with the mods in my sig....now the guy I bought it from said that the motor was pretty much done for. He had a comp check done on it and said that was about it..
But from further going through the engine block tear down...I notice that the OMP has been removed and that the nozzles have been blocked off. I am beginning to belive that the guy I purchased the car from did not premix, that is why the engine is gone...I mean it only had 25k on it from a kevin landers rebuild......
The guy by the way was 16 yrs old.....so that is why I believe he didnt premix, but the previous owner did... So what exactly do you think I will be seeing when I crack this engine open.....I did get it to run, but it was def low on the compression side...

The seals scrap the hell out of the internals.
EVERYTHING gets trashed.
MAYBE the rotors survived, but kiss the rotor housings, side housings, and all seals to be no good.
