Well recent update!

pulled the engine out in a whopping 2 hours had it apart in about 3hours heres just 3 pics







after Kevin (Rotary Resurrection) took it apart for me we found aout 7 (3mm solid corner seals) completely broken and out of the 6 apex seals 1 did survive so i have trashed both rotors and both housings! YAY!

Well off to work i go now to keep the rotary dream alive...
