Inspecting rotors....
Is it possible to inspect the rotors to get an idea or their condition, without tearing apart the engine? Either through a port or something?

So tell me how you inspect bearings through the exhaust port?
How about the rotor gear?
Side seals?
Corner seals?
Sure, you sorta kinda can look at the apex seal groove (most of it) and the rotor faces, but that's nothing close to being a complete inspection...

A simple "no" just wasn't enough.
No need to be snotty about it.

There is no way to see this kinda damage even through the exhaust port.

Yea but ted, just admit it, its better than nothing. I mean if you thought you had a bad apex, wouldn't you just take off the manifold and have a peak to see what you can see? Its less work than tearing down the block for a quick check. Like the other guy said, far from comprehensive, but better than nothing.
