OH Rotor Corner Ding.. Reuse?

So I had recently taken my rotors and other parts out of storage and found that someone had been playing with my parts. (I'm in college probably a drunk friend... they were also in my cabinets in the garage but that didn't seem to stop them) Anyway I was thankfully rechecking my parts before building and found the rotor's corner was dinged. I can take this to work and get the bulge machined, but I'm concerned of compression loss.

Curious to see if you guys consider this reusable.

Thanks

I'd file it down and use it. If it were me. You won't get a noticeable loss in power from that.


Clean rotors BTW.

Make sure the side seal face is flat in that area and then machine/file the slot to the correct width.

go home rotor you're drunk!

i'd clean that up and use it too. check the corner seal, and the side seal side clearance before you put too much work into it though

Thanks for all the replies! I'll take it in an machine it down tomorrow. Glad they look like they'll work, this things only had ~60k on them and they spec'd really well everywhere else. Hopefully I'll have pics of her running by Easter!
