Is it true that if a rotary engine sits too long it can lose compression?

TIA

Mike

My bad if this is in the wrong place

Mine sat for 4 months waiting for a transmision...now I have low compression in the front rotor....Kind of marginal but it causes hard starting and flooding......luckily its still under warranty.... :tounge:

Well...my jspec is getting better...but I'm waiting to get the new axles put in so I can bump start it. The motor has too low of compression and it just floods! Luckily...mines warrantied too! If this motor doesnt work...and I get another one, maybe I'll be one of those lucky guys who gets a Jspec motor w/ a garret turbo, lightweight flywheel, and a OS Giken clutch https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

My motor sat for 4 months without being started, and when I finally started it up again it was fine. Just ask some forum members. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/devil.gif
