SC I need help nc/sc area ASAP!!

Hey guys i've had an 88 TII for about a year now and for the first 6 months i had it, it drove fine, then in april i was driving to work one day and i somehow lost compression in the motor. I took my car to a local guy here in columbia who claimed he built alot of rotaries in the past and ordered the Rotary Aviation Rebuild kit, with the RA super seals, the atkins solid corner seals, and the RA racing apex seal springs. so the local guy rebuilt and streetported the motor and when i put the motor back in my car the motor had low compression in the front rotor ( 30psi) while the rear rotor was at 100psi. Now the guy i took my motor to was doing it on the side and he only worked on it on sundays and that was fine with me, but he was taking way too long and he had alot of personal problems come up so i went and picked the car up from him and me and a buddy of mine put the motor back in and tried to start it and we did a compression test and that's how we found out it had low compression. me and my buddy pulled the motor yesterday and tore it down to the short block, and i was wondering if anybody would be willing to tear down my motor and just look at it and help me diagnose why my motor has low compression. That's all i'm asking, i kind of got screwed over but i'm not really worried about that now, and i don't want to take my motor back to the guy who built it because he takes too long. I just want to get my car running ASAP, i am willing to throw cash your way just to help me diagnose the problem and I will fix it, i'm just not very experienced with rebuilding rotaries so i need help. Let me know what you guys can do i'd really appreciate it.

Brian
