welcome to the board.

need a couple better photos. some things that would be helpful are: the apexes and the recesses. also, you can measure some things as well.
- rotor width
- apex seal slot
- weight

Should add a picture of the combustion chamber area on the rotor. Could also measure the combustion chamber depth to determine compression ratio.

Sorry for the late reply. Here is a picture.
5,5 cm width (combustion chamber)
9,5 cm length (combustion chamber)

The total width of the rotor is 8,9 cm

2mm apex seals with a cast recess = S4. Depth of the recess tells you the compression

pic is from the S5 book, so an S4 will be slightly different, but close enough
