I think that'll be ok if any burrs are removed...

however - the engine is already apart.....hint hint


But if it were mine I'd run it

No worries. Just carefully file it smooth.

Handle them carefully, the corners are very easy to bend enough to pinch the corner seals.

yeah file that flat. my bro dropped one of his rotors and dinged it. we filed it and that rotor had no problems sealing or making compression.

Sounds great... i was going to use it as a excuse to upgrade to some racing beat lightened rotors but theres no way i can afford that currently. These will work excellent for now, thanks for the knowledge.
