Here you go. Pics of the rotor once I get them.
A little background on the rotors for you. I had to literally pry the apex seal grooves open to remove the remaining pieces of seal from them. There are some pretty hefty gouges on the rotor faces also. 2 of 3 apex seals shattered. Good times, good times.

lol, its not fake. Its the original engine from my 83. I could start it but it lacked in power and wouldnt idle for ****. This was the first time I owned my car (long story). Anyways, I bought the car back and also 2 parts cars and finally tore the original down after noticing it had no compression in the front rotor.

The rotor housings in my DD look as bad as that. And I drive that to work everyday. 80 psi compression is no way to go thru life.

Ive got a bookend 12A housing with a lot more chrome gone than that.Forcing a seized engine to un-seize tends to do that!
But mine aint got the long gouges like yours has above the trailing plug holes,thats some bad sh*t!!

You should see the ones from my orignal A the engine was overheated so bad it took the chrome out on the bottom of both housings and some idiot dropped a nut down the intake.....caused massive damage. But the good side to it is because some moron did that I got my car for free!!!!
