Broke apex seal, is rotor still reusable? PICS
So like the title says a piece of the apex seal chipped off and tore up the housing but I'm not sure about the rotor.
As you can see in the pics the grooves are not that deep and even though one extends to the apex seal slot it does not cut into it. I checked the slot with a feeler gauge and it does taper slightly but nothing more than about .001".
Let me know what you guys think!

I don't see any problem with smoothing down the protruding burs. Just as long as you don't take any away from the tip of the apex seal groove. Don't take my advice though. Refer to the knowledge of the gurus on the forum.

i'd fix it. sides of the groove can be sanded/filed straight, the rest is mostly cosmetic

Thank you very much for your reply. I feel very safe using my old rotors now. They arent bad it just the little scuffs scared me. And my rotor looks better than the one nissan guy posted so im now confident.
