The leading spark plug hole going into though the housing and into the combustion chamber is about the same diameter as a sparkplug and the trailing hole is about the size of a q-tip.

 

Good to know... so I have been able to get the car to kind of idle, but still need to adjust TPS and such, but now i am noticing a smoking turbo. Assuming that if tightening the oil cooler lines doesn't work then it is blown and needs replacing?

 

Something I used to do when diagnosing apex seals is removed the exhaust manifold turbo etc (you can leave the turbo wired up usually. Get a 19mm wrench crank the motor over and you can see the apex seals through the exhaust port. You can also checked for smashed apex spring by gently pushing on each apex with something plastic. I used a cutting board cut in thin strips (there made of nylon so the plastic is soft and won't damage apex seals). Anytime I did an engine swap, I checked the engine this way before I even got it close to the engine bay. According to your videos I have to go against the grain and say the front rotor looks bad.

 

It would be so much easier to see if he just held that button. :/

 

I know , I know. Just haven't had a chance to shoot over to rent another tester. I don't live where the car is being stored, so I can only work on it certain days of the week between classes. I am pretty confident that after trying Pvil's method described on the first page I am okay though compression wise. Really think it was just a stuck side seal.
