New Rotor Housings?
 
So i pulled apart my 13-rew engine with 99k miles and i noticed that it didnt seem like the rotor housings were reuseable. On the front facing edge of both housings there is like scraping about a 1/16th of an inch wide. Its kinda hard to see in the 6 pics but it looks black and its not a constant scrape there are a few sections. I believe that it is from the apex seal corner triangle pieces becuase i think there is a little bit of scoring on those pieces (where they contact the rotor housings). It doesnt seem like such a great idea to reuse these housings which totally sucks. So I was wondering where i could buy used housings in good condition and how much would those run me? I really dont know where to go for that. Also is it not really worth it to buy used housings? and just buy new ones while im at it? just spend a little more and get new ones? is it only a little more? Thanks alot!

Get new ones.

Although there is a 1/8 limit on chrome receding at the edges, if the corner piece of the apex seal catches, well...

Here's the best place I've found for new housings:
