Well assuming that whatever got sucked into the motor didn't damage the rotors housings or irons, the rebuild should be straight forward.

we took his engine apart last night and found out the problem one of the front apex seals broke in 2 places and screwed up the apex seal grove and put scratches in that rotor housing so the front roter and roter housing need to be replaced.
