Hey guys, I want to use the older 13b gsl-se housings with the later 89-92 9.7 N/A rotors and I was just told by a very well known rotary company that this is a recipe for disaster. They told me that the older housings are shaped differently than the newer housings and that the rotors may come in contact with the housings at high rpm. Can anyone comfirm this. I call bullshit because I know several people who have used this combo with no problems, but I am having doubts and want to make sure before I go and buy a bunch of parts.



Thanks,



Jarrett
