Does it NEED a rebuild? If it does, then there is nothing we can do because most of us have no money either

Huh?

If you are asking us if it needs a rebuild you are asking the wrong question because there is no way we can tell you that.

Do a compression check. If the motor is not in the car and cannot be tested with a compression checker there is no way to correctly test it.

You can get an idea by turning the engine by hand with the spark plugs out and listen to the compression pulses. You should hear 3 solid swooshes out each rotor.
