Well update. My dumb *** didn't compression test the motor before trading my running 87 300zx turbo for this pos. Yup the motor needs a rebuild, 15psi on the front rotor on all faces & 30psi on the rear rotor on all faces. I would not do any business with quicksilver34. He told me that the motor was fine & it's not. Oh well live & learn.

So now im pulling the motor & learning what failed & how to rebuild it. Fun! Fun!

Any advise on inspection & rebuilding would be great.

Thanks.

I am coming from the world of Nissan as well. Rotaries are a bit more finicky but you'll get the hang of it.
