Well,it seems to be blown.....

I had my car towed to a knowledgeable rotary mechanic and he pulled the plugs with me standing there and water/antifreeze blew out the engine.the car is clean but it seems like a rebuild is gonna cost about $2000.00 and thats what paid for the car.He wont' know until wed when he pulls the motor how bad it is.He said he might be able to use the old rotor housings.....

If the coolant seal went, then there would be antifreeze in the combustion chamber. Good news is, that if the engine needs rebuild due to coolant seal failure, then usually the rotors and housings are reusabe.
