Reusing rotor in rebuild
I'm doing my first rebuild and just got the engine apart to clean and inspect things. An apex seal let go on the front rotor, and caused some minor damage to the rotor. This is okay to reuse, correct? I haven't measured clearances yet, but there's no visible damage to any of the seal grooves, or anywhere other than these two faces.
I've heard about sharp edges causing hot spots; will these cause a problem? Should I do a little sanding/polishing to the damaged areas to round the edges a bit? I swear it looks like the seal was trying to stamp a message into the rotor for me to read, but got thrown out the exhaust before it could finish.

As long as clearances are good i can't see a problem.

100% ok to use. I know I dont have my sig attached to my business anymore but just so you know I have built a few rotory engines.

Thanks guys. That's what I thought, just wanted confirmation.
I'm already spending enough on other parts, didn't want to add a new rotor to the bill too. |
All I see are marks made by rotor inspectors. Ok to use.
