This is all good info, so post it up as opposed to PM's

As far as the rotors... my feelings, it's obviously damaged, gases are going to get in there and do things that it shouldn't do. The pressures can force the apex seal/corner seal harder into the sealing surfaces than they should and cause accelerated wear... I know someone who tried this by milling gas ports into the rotors. Killed the housings in about 5k from what I understand.

That little imperfection could lead to the seal moving back and forth and wear improperly. Also thinking carbon buildup is going to increase in that area as well.

Regarding the seals... I'm running the RA super seals. When the fuel filter clogged she ran 13.5-13.7 AFR's and 15+psi and detonated for sure. The seals didn't crack, they didn't chip, but they did warp. IMO they saved the engine though.
