naw car wont start at all with no oil but after starting it will stay on and eventually there will be almost no smoke at all coming out da bak and im new to dis rotary stuff so i dont just wana take it apart and i did a piston motor compression test cuz like i said new to rotarys so how exatly do u do it and to my understanding his son missed a shift and fucked da housings up so new housings and seals the way i did it was hooked up the gauge on the front turned it over a bunch of times and got sixty then turned it over abunch of times again and got 100 but on the bak one same steps but never got past 60 and i tried rx7club.com its tripin it says u need like 3 or 5 post to start a new thread so i try to post and it says u need 3 post to post i was like wtf and left if some 1 good on thees can shared_pm me there number ill call and give step by step of wat happins and wat exactly the car has and all that mess cuz theres only so much i kno and can do being a piston mechanic

 

ok talked to the previous owner again to keep it all short he said EVERYTHING is new besides rotors

 

ok so i removed both bottem spark plugs and me and my homeboy listened and both rotors make the exact same sound on all sides remember its street ported does it need to spin faster because without oil its almost starts but dosent its like almost there do it need an upgraded starter or something after street porting

 

Get accurate compression numbers. It could be dumping fuel from big Carb and fouling plugs.

 

Sounds like a pain in the ass to me.

So what is more reliable piston or rotor? With good Maint. of course. Which would last longer?

 

Im sorry is this the i own a gay ass eclipse i wish i had a rotary section NO GTFO

 

ive owned a 88 honda prelude that had close too 400.000 miles with regular maint a piston engine
''non ragged on'' will last longer... its just plain common since and this is coming from someone whos done several experiments with rotarys... im more of a scientist than a mechanic lol

 

ok took off the conections on the battery and all the ignition wires wire brushed all of them looked at the starter thats new so hook everything bak up and its turns over a hell of alot faster even got it started with out oil one time i think there was alil bit in the motor to do that but i looked at the cap and rotor and they look in bad shape and are from 2006 so tomaro im getting the battery warrentied for a new one and gettin a new cap and rotor hopefully that gets my lil rotary runing without dumpin oil in da carb that might b it because it has 4 prong ngk or nkg idr but yea some big plugs to the cap and rotor might not b producing the rite spark at that low rpm

 

lol to monsta13b

 

very likely ive noticed that myself before i invested in a red top batt at advance now my shit turns over fast every time
