compression test that biatch, that'll tell you a WHOLE lot about your engine. look for even strokes 120psi is the BEST, 80-90 is the LEAST you should have. pull the EGI fuse and put the compression tester in trailing or leading 1 (doesnt make a difference, ive confirmed this) have someone crank it over and look for 3 even showshs of a number this confirms a GOOD rotor/apex seals, if they are uneven you probably blew a seal. do the same for leading 2...and i dont know why i just typed all that out becuase your probably know how to compression test your engine haha.

If it's not running them I'm thinking maybe a blown coolant seal.. Losing all the compression into the cooling system and burning water..

3 EVEN swooshes. 90-90-90 = ok, 120-120-120=good,150-150-150 = best. you want even swooses if you get like 90-70-40, theres something wrong.
