Perform a compression test.

Probable blown rotor/seals

Welcome to the bane of rotor owners. If there's little to no compression then the only thing it means is the tip seals are gone. And of course most likely the rotor and housing with it. It's possble the iron castings are salvagible but that's a long shot as well. Most often they take a hit too.

I'm the proud owner of two of these. :-(

The only answer is a rebuilt engine or a rebuild job on what you have left plus the previously mentioned main parts.
