OK...well it appears I was onto the right idea first time I checked clearance. My first pics are of the feeler gauges on the corners. I put them in angled the top towards the middle as far as they would go. Like I was trying to slide them across the groove.
I checked out the FSM and I think I'll be referring to it more often. My Haynes has a handy page of tolerances but no description on how to go about getting those.
So I've got corner seals and plugs in, apex springs and seals in.
FD rotor on the bad corner
.011-.012-the tip of the feeler barely fits and can't go beyond where the damage is on the edge of the groove.
FD rotor same groove but on the good corner
.005-.006-gets about the same amount of contact...barely fits on the very tip
As far as sliding the feeler gauge all the way to the bottom of the groove. On the corners .002 is the only one that can do that.
I'm probably over thinking this again. But on the corners I can fit the feelers much easier. Probably because my old apex seals are OEM 3-piece. The top half can move a smidge.
With that in mind it seems the groove is within spec...except on the damage. Also the higher clearance is also only at the top where the damage is. The groove isn't uniform. The groove tapers out near the top cause of the damage. Max clearance according to FSM is .059.
