Yes, you should be able to visually see if it is damaged.
It is common to see evidence of flaking at the outer edges. As long as it doesn't exceed 1/8" it should be a usable housing. The center areas should be smooth with no nicks or grooving.

you pretty much have to pull the motor apart to see the housings on an 86-91 na motor, the exhaust insert blocks the view. if you take it apart, the side housings should be flat. if you can catch your fingernail its bad. the rotor housing should not have any wear marks, or peeling over 3mm.
