I dropped this rotor on a concrete floor and it landed right on the tip of the apex seal slot. I pounded it out a little.

Can this be repaired and still be used safely? Or should I just look for a new another rotor?

 

If I were you, I'd get another rotor.

But theoretically you could cut it back to spec, not that you'd want to.

 

thats sucks bawlz

 

I would definitely get another one. At least it didn't break your foot too!

 

yeah..that's not the business right there, should get a new one.

 

Yeah, depends on how important this motor is to you... if its a floor sweeper motor and you just want to get something running, I'd file that bitch out. as long as you keep the grooves tight and take off about the same amount on the other corners (to balance the thing out), I'd imagine it would work just fine...

but if you care at all about this motor.. new rotor.

 

Ok, guys, I guess I had better start looking for another one. Man, I had i totally clean and ready to rebuild.

 

looks like a rotor clock will be born out of this one.

 

It's hosed. No amount of filing or bending will make it ever work again.

Get another and a piece of steel rod. Make a dumbbell out of it then show off your rotor muscles.

 

good advice Aaron~!

 

I have some 9.4:1 rotors if thats what that one is.

 

lmao arron i was thinking more of a paper weight but thats so much better.

 

Butter Fingers!!

 

That sucks right there. Definitely get a new one.

 

Absolute junk. Guess now I know why you bought one from me.
