Do a search for 'compression check' and that may help you get going on figuring out whats going on.

that would be amazing
i found out what the problem is
i blew the apex seals of the rear rotor
i talked to the guys at rx-7 specialtys and they told me that to fix it it would be around 1800 that i should go with a rebuild with new ports and some other stuff around 3000 without the car just with the engine block
what do you suggest?
