Bad idle when the engine is cold. Extreme loss of power (~ 30 - 40%). Only one chamber has compression with the rotor with the blown seal. Won't stay running when the engine is warm.

yup like R1 said you can tell when you blew a motor she runs all to different and sounds like a first gen with an exhaust when you blow the rear rotor In my case

BTW mine was running way rich since the rear rotor was not burning any fuel so it is a lot of fumes
