Gouge in housing, is it trashed?
I recently took my motor apart and had the housings and irons sent to rx7store for porting. I didnt really get to inspect the housings before they were shipped, and they noticed a gouge in the housing near the exhaust port. Its not really deep, but you can feel it.
Is the housing reusable? The rest of the housing looks great, Im ready to put the engine back together, and would rather not have to spend the time and money on another housing and getting that one ported too.

Its not the best thing to have but it wont kill it bc its on the exhaust cycle there anyways so there really no power loss...but it would be best to replace...but i wouldnt worry.

And i thought mine was bad when my motor went. I still had peices of apex seal embedded in the housings and rotors. Oh yeah, and my rotor faces caved in. lol
