Everything looks good to me Sean. As for the corrosion on the irons, like I said earlier, as long as it's not close or weakening the gas seal area, which it clearly isn't, you should be in great shape. I would spend some time with a pic and a circular wire brush and get as much of that crap out as possible and don't forget to flush the exchangers both ways with a fair amount of pressure. My rad is still pucking crap from the first engine which, exactely the same as yours, sat static for 5 years.

As for the rotors........ I would clean everything up till no carbon remained in or around the apex seal slots and mic everything up and make sure it's withen spec. It's tough to tell from the pics but it looks like one of the slots bows out towards the end. I would be leary of that.

Which apex seals where used? The chatter marks look pretty bad.

The irons and the ports, the intermediate ports looks good.... as for the cutting tool hits...... I would take a fresh side seal, or the back of a used one and move it over in every single direction and see if it catches. If it doesn't, which I doubt it will becuase the engine has been run, I wouldn't worry tooooooooo much about them. Is it ideal? No. Liveable? Yes. The wear, well you can always get them lapped and re-nitrated. There is a member here, he has a few threads in the general tech section about his services. He'll be getting the irons that I have that are in my basement right now. Remember my comments about compression and irons......

Side seals - I would replace those along with the springs. The 86-95 seals are all the same. The S6 springs are stiffer though, or so I have been told. Makes sense as they are a different part number. & be careful clearancing them. The difference between good and no good is .1MM and I set all mine to between .05-.08mm. My tip would be to buy 14 or 15 just in case. I broke one grinding it.

Anyway, if you want to call feel free, you have my number. I need to cut a check to pay off my last rebuild (my CC co HATES me! Never a balance despite the $3,700 bill this month ) and then I'm swapping fuel tanks and pumps and filters in prep for tomorrow's dyno....... then I may just drive to PA tonight. The short is, I'll prob be up till ~midnight eastern time so don't be shy.

Good luck and keep us all updated.
