Opinions on this rotor ...

I was told this was in excellent condition .. I think its worthless. But maybe its just me ?

Theres maybe 3 or 4 small detonation marks on the compression sides of the rotor ... nothing major but still there (nowhere near the seal area).

Pants are, apparently, optional.


Really though, not a clue.

I'd use that rotor in a high-powered FD build with no worries.

Btw, you're one hairy ****.

**** that.
It shows obvious signs of detonation.
Detonation hard enough to fatigue the metal is always not a very good idea.
I'm surprised at some of the comments of the people who are okay with this rotor.

Excellent my ***.
I would be ******* furious at the bitch who told me it was "excellent".
I would demand my money back.

I have to agree with Reted, we would not use that rotor in any of our builds.

The dent is for variable compression ratios on differnt sides of the rotor. I'm not a rotary pro, but I would not buy pistons with detonation signs on them either.

If you got cut in the leg and used some hydrogen peroxide, you would have died leg hairs. Then you mightas well do the rest of your legs

That's pretty damn bad. As stated by ted and chris, definitely not useable. Otherwise it looks ok though
