Exclamation Can this rotor still use!!

Guys, I was just cleaning up some rotors for a rebuild. I took these picture and I'm not sure if this rotor can work. This is a picture of one side of the rotor that I am concern about. Some parts are pitted, hopefully you can make it out in the pics.

...but seriously, the pitting looks minor. Its the apex groove u have to make sure is clean and burr free so you have good compression.

what is it with people and pics... Your camera has a min distance for focus, and that should be in the manual... Which means, it wont focus if its too close... those areas never come in contact with the housing, so it doesnt matter if there is some pitting... what you need to worry about are the seal areas... take BETTER PICS of the seal areas... What you can do, is get an apex seal and slide it through the gap... IT should go it smoothly no matter where you slide it in through. However, it shouldnt have much or any play, side to side. If it does, you either have to clearance them to accept 3mm seals or just say fukit and buy new rotors..
