That engine's apex seals finally let go in the rear rotor. That's why it wouldn't restart. It would still crank, but there was no compression. Not bad for sitting at 9 grand for as long as it did.
I'd say rotaries are extremely duarable. Even an abused one can live for a long time.

Hmmm..... and I thought when motors blew they shot lots of little hot pieces of jagged metal everywhere!
I like how the rotary "fought" against the "abuse" even after it was gone. It puffed smoke and tried to set the car on fire!
Ignore me, thats the meds talking.....
Damn flu
