No, I just got it together enough to where i can start it like Monday of this week. i recieved the engine a few months back, but just last week recieved the money from the second loan i took out so i purchased the rest of the parts. What all should i do to see if it will build compression? It should have 3 pulses but it had 0. So that would mean all the seals are stuck. So i need to squirt ATF in the spark plug holes right? Then what do i do, just turn it over? Or do i let it set and for how long?
First thing everyone does when they get a engine is take off the manilfold and look at the seals, zero pulses is odd, maybe it is a stuck seal.

Engines are coming in this tuesday? Any idea how many 13 re's you'll have? I can use a rew flywheel/manual tranny on these right? Going to run standalone for tuning.
bill lists them as "twin turbo", and does not specify what kind of twin turbo, will know Tuesday

If it was a stuck seal chances are it would have one or two pulses. I still havent heard back from motor works yet either. Are they closed this week? So whats the normal precedure for this? Will they do anything or am i stuck with this engine? I dont want to tear it apart without their consent either. I guess i will call em back tomorrow and see if anyone answers. If it just needs apex seals i can probably deal with it, but chances are the housing is tore up and the rear rotor probably is also. Your right i should have pulled the turbo and looked inside, but you did say that their importer was good and that it would only take one bad one for them to stop dealing with them.

someone ALWAYS answers the phone, you should be calling between 9-5 eastern time
There is no way you were calling and no one answered the phone, talk this over with Gary the owner, not here and not with me, I dont have the power to make these decisions for him.

I can say this, a start up and 1 week warranty was given and STILL given, some people bought engines and they were taken back for whatever reason, no questions are EVER asked and no one gets a hard time, EVER.
However, it does not look good when you try to make a claim months later.
