I bought this rotor and after cleaning it found this...at first I didn't notice it. Can I use this rotor? What about flipping it around for the other housing so that the momentum of the engine will always be pushing the seal away from that damaged area?






This is my other rotor, the one I damaged when I detonated...it almost seems to be in better shape than the one I bought

Those rotors are still very much usable. If you guage the Clearance between the apex seal slot and apex and would like it tighter we offer a oversize apex seals. Its still categorized as a 2MM seal but .003 thicker to make up for high millage slop or damaged rotor edges.

I sent it back to the seller, he inspected it and is sending me another. It's a moot point now, but I appreciate the advice.

Replacement rotor should be here in a few days. Replacement housing is already here. I've got it cleaned up and will slap some paint on it tonight or tomorrow. Matter of fact I'll post some pics of the housing.
