rebuild question

When you break a seal, does it normaly ruin the housing or can you "most of the time" rebuild the same engine.

if it's an apex seal, i'd say 80-90% of the time, you lose a rotor and/or a rotorhousing

No way to know until you tear down the block. I have seen it both ways.

It can go both ways........ I've gone through 10 motors and have only had to replace one rotor. The housings have always survived. Those were all with hurley (shitty) so that probably explains it.
