Soft Material Coating on triangle rotors
Ok, let me try this again. I some responces when I tried to ask this question before but nothing that was related to the rotors inside your engine. Well here it goes again. The soft material coating on the rotors as mentioned in the FSM in the engine section, cleaning. It said dont damage the soft material coating on the rotor sides. Now I noticed some of my rotors have less of this coating the some of my others... (I have plenty to compare to ) anyways. I was wondering what the primary use of this is for and how critical it is to have much of it on the side of the rotors? Also is there a measurement to check against a tolerance?

what series rotors?
Some use chrome plating for heat control, and to help balance the weight of the rotor.
Chrome is very soft and would be discolored over time and use.

the coating is a teflon like material that is on both sides of the rotor (like gear side). it is not nessasary to be concerned about it. i have rebuilt many engines and i usually clean it all off with a wire brush because most of it is gone anyway. it's really doesn't do much because that part off the rotor should not be touching the side housings. the only things that shoud touch the side housings are the corner seals, side seals, (sides of apex seals), and the oil seals.
