what kinda damage can rotors take and still be fucntional i have 3 which have the very corner of the apex grove knicked "only on one side" its like 1/16" of the corner edge
in my opinion i thought maybe i could sand it back to spec and the side seals and apex seal should still function any opinions or even photos of damaged rotors still useable would be sweet
i think me mum knocked them when they got moved

iv tryed to get pictures but my camera just dosnt focus that close





just to show how clean i got them

 

as long as they're in spec they out to be ok.
cant really tell what your talking about in photo.

 

clearance the rotors with a feeler guage..as long as you dont get more than .0045 your ok..
anything over will put much strain on the seal in the center (longways)..and some compresion will seep underneith.

 

Apex seal and feeler guage.

easiest way

BTW use the function MACRO in your camera and you will be ok

 

as i said camera wouldnt focus so ill circle the area i was talking about
oh ill try the macro function. time to find the instruction book

and thanks for the input i guess i wont be able to check specs till march when i get back from new zealand

 

jsut so you don't look around, the macro button is usually represented by a little tulip shape button usually found on one of the button or in the features

 

sweet thanks dude iv seen the tulip before i havnt even looked it up yet haha wheres the damn camera

 

can rebuild a rotary engine but cant use a camera

 

Dude, I Want To Check Out Your Shop! I Am Right Above You In Albany. Pm Me Sometime. What Do You Have Like 6sets Of Housings???

 

Yep, he's building a 6 rotor monster,lol.
Blwfly , you were smart to leave Oregon during the winter. I'm still in Ca and probably won't go back to Oregon until End of Feb or March.

 

well im leaving end of feb actually
so im pretty much stuck at the moment 8inch of snow on my lawn...
and work well what work haha
im almost broke again cant wait for sandy beachs and hot sun


ohh and heres my 6 rotor monstor

 

Atleast shes got enough places for oil,lol. Don't forget to drill and pin the e-shafts together so they won't come apart when the HP dyno reads 1000Hp,lol.

 

1000hp...the 3 rotor 20b can hit 1000hp...so I'd say were looking at 2000hp at least, unless you were thinking about it with a stockport

 

Stockport, PLEASE!!! I heard rumor chris was going PP on that beast! lol

 

I think he's still not able to use his camera :P lol

 

hay quit bashing
camera got takin outa towh:C

 

 

I think you should be ok. One of the corners on my rotor was knicked so that the apex seal would not fit into its groove. I just filed and sanded the bump a little to make it fit :-P Oh well, it works.

 

what was the compression like?

 

bump for more opinoins

 

I haven't measured the compression- but i'm sure it's fine. It runs real strong.

 

ahh the things that a little button on a camera can do eh? makes things much much more clear to see
