Listening to it crank, I'm 95% positive the engine is blown. 5% says a seal may be stuck. During cranking I hear two low then two high compressions, which would suggest that either an apex seal on each rotor is gone (going) OR one side seal on each rotor is gone or going.

 

thanks Lee, i did squirt ATF into the chamber before i tried to start the engine first time, so it can't be a stuck seal. anyway, **** this ****

project part out. check for my new threads if anyone wants anything

 

Pull the turbo manifold and check the seals.

 

Unfortunately this doesn't always show anything. My last 3 engines cracked the seals in a place that wasn't visible from the exhaust port.

 

sounds like its only running on 1 rotor in the first vid...the sound in the 2nd vid is the other rotor trying to come on line.

 

Injectors OK? I didn't get a chance to read through all this but what comes to mind are, AFM/wiring near afm, injectors, vac leak, maybe even an ECU problem.. The fact that the rear is showing low compression says to me that the the rear rotor is flooded to ****... Only rear rotor says injector...
