Actually, yes. All apex seals were fine.

I bet that thing was smoking it butt off with that big of a hole, BTW was the rotor housing ok, looks like the metal may have been contained inside the rotor.

on more word ..... DAM IT

The rotor wasn't the only thing damaged. His oil pan was damaged as well resulting in a complete oil down of the track
