Engine=Broken

While tuning this past weekend the motor blew. It seems that trying to make power on a rotary that has 92k miles on it isn't the best idea in the world. Everything in the tune was safe when it blew and my logs have been reviewed by others to say the same. Oh well....shit happens....now it is time to rebuild and port.

Here are videos of testing compression. As you can see rotor 1 is a good consistent pulse, while rotor two is basically non-existent. (*This is a cold motor, so the actual numbers are useless).

Rotor 2:

Complete sans tuning...
