did a comp test and i very nearly ****ed myself as there was **** all compression now there is a question i have when the apex seals go what other damage do they cause as i was more a piston kind of guy till about two months ago and think im going to recon the engine planning on takin it out this weekend to get a closer look at things not sure what to expect would like a bit of a head start on things i suppose

What was the Results? Is each rotor fairly even or are the three results irratic?

there was no comp at all  now this is how i tested them if i was doing it right cant se it being any diff to a piston engine i disconnected the batt took the egi fuse out as you guys said took out the top rear sparky and fitted my tester and turned her over and it hardly move as in about a nats ball sack
i did the same with the other one and it was the same so bin thinking its had it what do you think or should i try again if i was doing it wrong

To comp test a rotary is a little harder to do.

If your using a std Comp tester you will have to remove the Shnider (spelling??) Valve from the End of the Tester so the tester does\'nt retain the presure.

To cut a long story short, you conect up the tester and have a second person turn it over whilst your watching the needle bouncing between 0 and 6-7 bar if its good. Then repeat on the other Rotor.

A rotary engine is not like a Piston where it has one Compresion chamber per pot, a Rotary has Three per Rotor. So if you keep the Shnider (Spelling?) valve in you may have two low comps but your only seeing the one good.

Its a bit late and i\'m a bit too tired to go into detail but if you do a search i\'m sure you\'ll find a Thread on how to Convert the Tester and Comp test the engine.
