Me too.  My rough guestimate was that he was showing about 12 times more fuel polution than he should have; doesn't this make us all worry about viscosity, if that is true ?  Or, did I just misguestimate ?

As I mentioned before, I don't think you can put any stock in the fuel content showed, except that it's the only indication of a problem.  The side seals on the bad rotor are smashed into the side of the rotor, so there's NO seal at all.  When compression starts, a portion of the fuel/air mixture is pushed into the crankcase (for lack of a better term).
