Ok, well now that I have got at least ONE rotor perfect...the other one doesnt seem to be playing nicely. The coolant leak is coming from the intake/motor block gasket area(the o-rings need replacing)...so I'll get that taken car of shortly..exhaust will be done next week. Just though I'd update...I really hope the other rotor decides to kick in soon...I wanna get to the track! I'm gonna get it started up again in the next few days and let the motor get to normal operating temperature and see if that frees the rotor up a lil or not.

The compression is like 0 because the APEX seals are still stuck...if getting the motor warmed up doesnt help...i'm gonna run some more ATF through just the one rotor and keep running it until it breaks loose, lol....

i'm pretty sure optimally you wanna get the atf in there then let it sit a week. if that doesn't free up the apex seal......

That blows. I too, feel the fury of one rotor but its getting ready for a rebuild. Thats a J-spec right?, that would suck to have to pull it all out and exchange it for a new one. Good luck man!

Hmm I should have the last of my parts in shortly. I'll be able to let you know then if my J-spec works well or not. I thick my apex seal are alright though. The rotors looked perfect to me. Hardly any carbon on them at all. Apex seals seemed to be springy, although they were really hard to push in, but i think thats due to the low amount of miles on the engine. I believe.
