We have this stuff at work, carbon be gone kinda stuff, think im going to dump some in the engine, hand turn it, next bottle, etc for about two weeks and see if it helps any.



Can i use a normal compression tester on a rotary? If so, whats a target psi to indicate fine/going/gone?

I've heard a minimum of 85 is acceptable.



quoted from The Camel:



here are the steps to the compression test.



1) make sure you have a good battery

2) pull the EFI fuse

3) pull both leading or both trailing plugs or all of them ( but do not mix and match the plug holes you are getting the readings from, they must be out of the same holes, both leading or both trailing

4) install compression tester in first hole, there are two ways you can do this to get the correct reading. Most gauges have a peak hold button on the side, you can either hold this button, or remove the schrader valve in the bottom of the gauge hose

5) prop the throttle open or have it held to the floor so that there is no restriction for the air that you will be measuring.

6) crank the engine over and observe the gauge this is easier with a second person or a starter button, if you do not know what a starter button is or does find the second person to help

7) watch for the needle to jump as the engine is cranked over, make sure you get at least 6 revolutions of the motor

8) record the readings and move the compression testor to the next rotor and repeat step 6 and 7

you should have 3 distinct needle jumps reading in the 100's or higher

9) post your compression readings for everyone to see, you will know if there is a blown apex seal(s) from the reading
