what do u think about my rotor

well i got lucky a few weeks ago and found an s5 motor in the junkyard i opened it up to see what it looked like inside everything looks fine except for the bearing and apex seals so imma do a complete rebuild on the motor my only worry is that when i found it had water inside the rotor housings and it looks as tho one of them has been damage by it and i would like to know if its still usable here are a few pictures of the rotor, it doesnt seem to bad to me but i could be wrong i dont know if it could cause hot spots or something of that sort here are the pics

holy ****. i wouldn't use that in a turbo motor, maybe a throwaway motor to take out and burn up in a weekend. you know something you dont put any cash into and dont expect any longevity out of.

I'd use them with housing that are trashed and irons with lots of wear for a 9k rpm test.. maybe. or if a customer REALLY pissed me off. i wouldnt expect them to make it very long maybe 2-5k miles? but it's gonna run like crap, and will be prone to oil oxidation and smoke alot.

EDIT the Apex seal slots look pitted and chewed up as well. Paint them and make a Display.
