hey man, it still may not be as bad as you think!!! She may not have blown!!! Have you ever heard of a washed housing? It's when for some reason wether it be the T.P.S. or ecu or o2sensor goes out it can send too much fuel to a rotor and wash with carbon and gas, and it can act blown. It will actually give you no compression on that rotor and make you think you blew the seals, when indeed they may be fine.



Here is what I think. your T.P.S. or 02s, or the fuel injector relays on the ecu went out. This can wash the housing with carbon and gas and give you no compression reading on the rotor. If you blew a apex seal you should have 2 spikes on the testor, telling you one went out, get it? So when it gave you no reading on the rear rotor it may be just because it's washed.



Here is what you can do, take a plug out and with a eye droper, drop in a few drops of automatic transmission fluid on each face of the rotor, turn the engine with a wrench on the underdrive pulley. Then put the plug in and fire her up!!! It will burn so hot that it will get rid of the carbon and burn the unused gas, then do your compression test. Sometimes that's all it is!



hope I could be of some help, sorry about the spelling i'm doing 100 things at once!!!



later,

-Matt
