OK im trying to figure out If i should just reuse my rotor housings.. Two are in good shape everywhere Exept on the far End on one side has this groove! Now all of them have the groove but two of them have apex seal damage near the center. . SO i went to look at used rotor housings on Ebay, and someone here also sent me some photos of one they are selling. But it has the same thing. Is this Normal and can i use the housings? And what is making the groove, Corner seals? thanks

they arnt posta have the grove, that is from high milage wear generally , what happens is the small triangle peice of the apex seal wears down the very edge of the housing more then the rest.



if the grove is very slight, and shows no chrome flake or "choppy" look to it id say u can prolly reuse it. take some pics and post them, or bring them to the next meeting??
