Well I had a few of the Rikki clan over for the holiday and we decided to do some compression test and I was very curious to see what my numbers were. So we used a real Rotary Engine Tester. These were my results.



Front Rotor:

112psi

113psi

113psi



Rear Rotor:

113psi

113psi

113.5psi





These are outstanding numbers. I think it was from having brand new parts (rotors and housings and seals). So I think Wargasm has the print out from the tester. If you read this dude. Do your magic and post it up.

Your full of it Rikki! You can't do a compression test. Hell, you don't even know how to change plugs!

btw- I thought those numbers you got were in BAR not PSI. I thought they were like 11.3 BAR? I may be wrong......
