Don't read what I wrote, read my mind and what I meant
FSM max clearance is .0059, but all the other numbers I posted are correct.
But again the thinest feeler gauge that I could slide was .002. That was the thinest feeler I own and moving it was difficult. Once the feeler got closer to the center of the groove it got hard to slide and was likely to tear.
What I noticed on all my rotors both good grooves and bad grooves is that on the corners it was much easier to get thicker feelers in the groove corner but was unable to slide them. Even on the good corners I could get between .005 and .006 into the groove to varying depths. On the damaged FD I just kept going higher and higher with feelers till I couldn't get anything wedged into the groove.
What I found is that the damaged groove isn't uniform. At the bottom of the groove it is consistent with the good grooves. But at the top I have more room as it tapers out due to the damage.
