GoodfellaFD3S Mar 31, 2008 07:47 PM

blown apex seals/low compression/engine rebuild needed.

Not the best news, sorry :(

polito Racing Mar 31, 2008 07:50 PM

Yup. sorry about your loss

Sukai94 Mar 31, 2008 07:58 PM

lawn mower? I think a blown motor sounds more like a helicopter.

Matsumoto Mar 31, 2008 10:17 PM

figured as much going to run a compression test 2morrow hopefully

Sukai94 Mar 31, 2008 10:21 PM

Matsumoto Apr 2, 2008 07:17 PM

the engine has great compression so thats not the problem what else could it be??

polito Racing Apr 2, 2008 07:59 PM

what is great compression? #'s

Could be a fuel or ignition related problem. If a rotor's not firing the engine will seem to be "off balance" and shaky. When was your last tune up? What did your tune up consist of? Mileage on the injectors? Bad fuel???

hanman Apr 2, 2008 10:34 PM

plugs,
plug wires
coil

Matsumoto Apr 2, 2008 10:40 PM

last tune up was more than a month ago i changed the plugs and the oil..................well for the compression test i listened to it through the compression tester and the engine had 3 consistent bops on both sides...............i'm not sure about the injectors............plug wires are good.
