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.

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.
