Is this housing good?????
So I pulled apart my 87 TII and was wondering if you guys could tell me if this housing is okay to use. Its got some chrome flaking, and some scratches by the exhaust port. I can barely feel the scratches with my fingernail. The smaller spot of flaking feels much worse than the longer spot, but neither one of them look too good. I'm buying a master kit to do the rebuild, and I don't want to spend 1300 bucks just to tear it down again because I rebuilt it with a junk housing. Thanks to whoever chimes in.
EDIT: will upload pictures in a bit

have you seen this video on inspecting housings? http://www.rebuildingrotaryengines.c...Rotor_Housings
also, a lot of housings are kind of a judgment call... they're not so bad that they are unusable, but they are worn enough that they may hurt compression or at least not last as long

Here you can kind of see the damage by the exhaust port.
Close-up of the exhaust port damage. Again, I can barely feel this with my fingernail.
Here is the longer but less severe spot of chrome flaking.
Another view of the flaking.
Here is the more severe, but smaller spot of chrome flaking.

Hopefully you can get a sense of the size of the areas compared with the nickel. What do you guys think? Thank you for that link arghx, I have not seen that before.
