nope... just tested to make sure they whooshed.... everything is closed so no access to one since i havent gotten a tester yet....
each rotor whooshed pretty good.... guess that doesnt mean TOO much but figured it was a good place to start

Those are definatly the signs of a lost apex seal 
And even worse, they do go on startup a lot... Only choice now is a compression check or trying the wooshes and making sure they're even between the front/rear rotor.

Nothing really, just remove the check valve if there is one on the tester, stick it on there and get someone to turn it over and watch the pulses, should be pretty easy to tell if you lost a seal. And blowing a seal won't usually throw a code.
