wtf

so lets say i installed a slightly used motor cuz im poor and my old one blew..
what would cause it to crank like a humming noise instead of the usual RrRrRrRrRr ... is it possible that 2 weeks of storage could cause 6 apex seals to seize WTF?

So, it IS spinning, but freely and not getting any compression? Or is the starter just humming and not turning the engine?

Please clarify.

Also, this thread title is rather lacking.

I've heard that noise on a few RX-7's. Do a compression test to reveil the evil villian.

Eh, bring on the kegs & have a rotary teardown party. One keg to drink, one keg to tear down.

If you have a big enough tarp, you can even do it indoors.
