Take a quess on why my old motor died...

well i finally got aroundto taking apart my motor that popped last winter, and as i suspected the rear rotor was the culprit but it looks like the front rotor was well on its way. In the first pic you'll see that one of the rear rotor corners got pinched but that's not what caused the motor do die. one of the apex seals decided to break into like 5 pieces and take the rotor and housing with it.

looks liek to much boost, or you had a fire in there. but looks pretty bad, thats something that i probably wouldny bother fixing.

sorry this was an n/a 13b. had 150k miles on it. it was mostly poor maintenance of the past owner ( i only put a little undr 7k miles on it) the only reason i'm keeping the motor is to practice porting but other than that i'm junking it.
