How to tell if Stationary Gear broke?

What are the signs of a broken stationary gear? Besides the obvious, not running right etc etc.....

CRAZY VIBRATIONS, if the motor can turn OR a motor that won't turn...

rotors might slap the housings

I loaded up some different timing maps...... Back rotor, fine 95 psi all around. Front rotor 30 psi all around, I've got a shitty thumping noise coming from the front rotor. It's not a compression thump, it's a broken thump :rlaugh:

The car never leaned out, so no detonation. Anyone know what causes these things to break?

Anyhow, I'll pull it this weekend and see what's up.

Anyone else know the symptoms? Just curious....
