Started tear down of 13b. 100000kms

No measurements yet. No gouges on any iron or housings just by feeling with fingernail. No copper visible on any of the bearings surfaces. Other than that can you guys guide me a bit by these pics? Thanks for your help.


Rear iron 1

Rear iron 2


This was damaged while using a block of wood to stop rotating assembly from moving. Can I grind it down and smooth it out? Apex seal won’t come out. 3

Rear rotor 4

Rear housing 6

Front iron 10

That rotor is done. The "block of wood" thing scares me .

One of the rotor housings looks like it has some chatter marks.

This might be the culprit to chatter marks.


Apex seal was not seated properly which must have caused chattering in housing. Is there a company in Ontario that I can use to resurface my parts. I have searched with no definite solutions. I know about REC specialties but maybe someone more local. As long as my parts meet required specs for rebuild. Thanks for your help.
