Detecting STUCK apex seal?
Ok, well here is the story....
Every morning i start my car so it can warm up before school...
I started it...went inside...came back out and it wasnt running...
had a hard time getting it to run, and when i finally did it ran very similar to the way my blown engine ran about 2 months ago....
drove it down the road on one rotor basically...and all of a sudden it was fine...
that afternoon i drove it home from school, and it drove fine...on my way to work however...it bogged down, and stuttered and died...(like my old blown motor)
that was tuesday...now its friday...and its just flooding itself right now...no compression on 2 faces of the rear rotor.
could this be a stuck seal since it happened, then was fine, then happened again?
should i try some MMF? take off my turbo and manifold and try to feel if its broken or stuck?
