I am days away from starting my rebuild and my son accidentally knocked my center iron into my front iron and did this!


I just had these resurfaced at Chips. The gouges are deep enough to catch my fingernail. Is the iron shot? I had a friend suggest tracing the side seal path to see if it interacts with where the damage occurred. Any help or advice here would be greatly appreciated.

 

I think I would try to polish anything above the surface out and run it. I don't think they are large enough to catch anything like a port can or a big gouge in the same direction as seal rotation if you has debris from broken seals jammed between rotor and plate.

 

Document as evidence to get back at him in the future if it is warranted. HAHA!!!
