Another sad story
Long uphill onramp, 91 octane gas, 4000 miles on Atkins Rotary rebuild, 10 psi, full throttle to 7000 rpm, kaboom! Very rough idle, stalls, noisy exhaust, flickering vacuum gauge. Gotta be an apex seal, right ? Should I drive to the dealer for the compression test ?

YUPP, that is why I am in the process of the LS1/T56 conversion. I am realy sorry to hear about your misfortune. I had a similer thing happen mine was a o-ring at 18k. Those things get expinsive you might want to consider the swap over IMO.

Luckly I'm right by one that sells a really good quality 93.5 which most people don't even know about because everyone is so used to using 91. To us here, 91 is high octane unless you want to make a run to get some race fuel, 100 octane or higher.
