apex seals slight freeplay and edge
 
As quick as I can put this. GSLSE 13B assembled engine. Very clean. Rotor housing look amazing. Viewing through the exhaust ports, getting a good view of the housing just under the spark plug leading to the exhaust port. No chatter marks, No flaking of chrome. Same for both rotors. I have never seen this engine run and was planing on rebuilding. If I can avoid that then "hooray". So when the apex seals are centered with the exhaust port I can wiggle the seal slightly on the x axis. I can also feel a slight edge just under the apex seal edge where the seal rides inside the rotor. I am led to believe that while the housings are in top shape, the rotors and seals may have worn. Can anyone confirm or tell me what Im seeing.

I am new to rotaries and may not be able to help but out of curiosity do you know how many miles are on this engine? may be helpful to someone that knows a little more then me in answering this question.
