Once a gear gets chewed the .015 of clearance right above the exhaust port makes contact and boom pinched side seals from face contact... Mine actually pushed the face to hard that it pushed the material up on the side, so look at your side clearance also not just pinched seal (you can feel it with your fingers)
You can run a rx8 FRont stationary ( I run one) the rear you can but without the oring groove you have to silicone the seal between gear and plate ( not in my comfort area)
The rx8 shaft is plug and play to the fd motor (I run one) and at sub 200$ it's even cheaper than most used fd shafts, is lighter (.5lb) and already has aditional clearance on bearings
B4 anyone starts we've consistently made over 800hp on the rx8 shaft pass after pass after pass.
But honesty prob just hunt down a new set of rotors, it will be quicker and prob cost the same as fixing your old ones
