Strangest thing, i did the "compression check" again and now i have too good "puffs" and one "putt" when i'm turning the pulley by hand 2 1/2 turns are hard the last 1/2 turn feels like there's nothing in my motor. What's up with this?

Sounds like two good seals, one shot seal. Good compression, good compression, no compression.

Even if i had one shot seal, it would cause two sides of the rotor face to not get compression. I'm simply baffled.

Just one missing puff means a bad/stuck side seal.



Your apex seals might be ok then.

Dont give up. I believe in the power of rotary engines. I wish I had one but in Poland I can be only dreamin' about it....

Too late to go back now, the motor is ready to be pulled. I've found so much wrong with my car in the process. I plan on putting s5 rotors into it, s5 intake manifold, and an s5 tranny.
