Pics of my housing damage.....
Just took some pictures this morning of my front rotor housing to show you guys the damage there was.
Here you can see the long gash made from the loose/broken apex seal in the exhaust chamber:
Here you can see a seperate single small gash at the compression / spark chamber:
Here is the damned culprit :

Very common for apex seal failure to result in scarred housing and (usually) rotor as well. Usually worse at the exhaust port, and lighter but still pronounced at the T plug. A general rule of rebuilds is that with a blown apex motor you'll need a replacment rotor and rotorhousing.
The damage gets MUCH worse than that. From my website:

I dod n't know the housing could be damaged to such an extent before the engine gives. I thought once a single groove is made in the housing, then compression is lost immediately
