are this good te re-use?

hey guys, i need some help identifiying if this parts are reusable
any help and suguestions would be great.

well i got to take the motor apart (ater a long time of slaking and hesitation since its the first rotary motor i ever take apart), but from whast i can see, it dosent look to good but it might still be abel to be reuse if rear, middle, and front side plates get re surfaced. or w./e its called

i got some pic to get an opinion

here is the rear plate, witch is the one that looks the best even tho it has the stains

this is the worst about it,



the front side of the middle plate, the parts were it look lest shiny, it has some dimple looking things. like tiny craters. can this be fixed by resurfacing?

closer pic


front plate has the dimple things as well



also another worry is the front rotor bearing got a lil scuf from when taking apart. still smoth with the rest tho.


last worry is the front rotor housing
the edge is chiped off on a section.


do you guys think all the side plates can be reuse if resurfaced?
also would i need to replace the rotor bearing on the front rotor because of that scuff?

and about the rotor housing, (mostlikely not reusable) can i use n/a ones? i have an n/a motor that shound have at least one good one. since there getting ported anyways, would they work?
not really worried about the housing not having the collant hole since im going to be runing a oil cooled turbo.

if this are not reusable. does anyone have any they wana get rid of that are in good condition? ported or not. will consider both

thanks for looking

That housing pictured IS a n/a housing. Notice the "wings" in the exhaust port, those are the diffusers n/a housings have to cut down the sound.

Yep, those be N/A housings. You can still use N/A housings in a turbo build, but you have to swap out the exhaust ports and re-route some coolant hoses. I would also pass on that particular housing, but like 20b said get the irons lapped and I'd use them. Be sure to examine the coolant passages for any cracking first though, that will kill your engine fast. I'd also wonder what is causing that purple glow on the first housing!

thanks guys.
that was my main concern about the irons.
still going to do the straight edge and filler gauge method to check for warping before i send them out to get ported.
the housing i was almost sure was junk.
and looks like the exhaust sleeves have been taken out before. so idk if those were put on by previous owner or what.
but its good to know i can use n/a housings.

where can i get the new turbo exhaust sleeves?

oh and about the purple color, its just the camera and lightning or something because i just checked and there just yellowish/greenish from the coolant i'm guessing?
once again thanks guys
