for those of you whos engien blew. how was your oil after? mine was deep deep black with **** loads of gas in it. I would have driven it to and from work and everywhere else but the oil was horrible, didnt feel like ruining anything that needed lubrication.

Intresting points on the fuel mileage...maybe I should top her off and put put 30 miles on it on the highway and top it again...see what it gets.

would it help if you removed the spark plugs on the dead rotor to lessen the drag on the engine?
sure it will sound like a steam train.. but if the injectors are unplugged then you wont have to worry about gas spraying into your engine bay. maby a little oil.

lol now if the other rotor goes out on the trip too, if it was me, and it was a base model, id seriously debate abandoning the car lol...
when my dads 83 12 a lost a rotor completly, i couldnt get it to go much more than 45 mph lol... turbo 1 rotors can get over 100 though
