Somebody pls help this dude. It sounds like its carbon locked or something. Is it a garaged engine or Jspec??..could be carboned because its been sitting for a while. Try ATFing it!..

yeah, a sitting rotary engine will rust up. Pour some ATF in the spark plugs holes and into the intake if its just an engine block. Let it sit for awhile then try and turn it over at the flywheel. You can really do some damage to that main pulley with a 6 foot bar, so lay off it, will ya? I'd say take the damn thing back if it doesn't work, where did you get it?
