blown = apex seal(at least one) is toast.



So if it is 'blown' new apex seals will be in store. more than likely a housing as well as a rotor too.

I am hoping that is not blown, and if it is, I hope it did not do too much damage. If so, it will be sold for cheap.

It is lower than I expected. I just checked the rear rotor, and came up with numbers of 6 6 5. Haynes manual claims that two even pulses and one uneven pulse means a blown or worn out Apex Seal.



Damn, that compression tester was a bitch to get in there. I took twenty minutes doing it.



When are you available to help me rebuild it Dave?



Off topic, what else would I need to do a streetport on it at the same time besides an ECU, larger secondaries,air intake,ignition(maybe?). I wanna just completely rebuild it all up from the ground up. And maybe even paint the car at the same time. I will just have to deal with not having my RX-7 for about 3 months if I want to do all of this. Or should I just rebuild it, sell it, and buy a TII that runs?
