Glad to hear there was no major damage Ed.  The only thing you mentioned
that was of concern to me was the "bevel" on the apex seal.  There should
not be one and I suspect it was caused by the lean oil mixture you used for
awhile.  Ditto for the rotor housing scratches.

When you re-assemble, be sure to use Hylomar in the water jacket O-ring
grooves.   People who have built a LOT of engines say they have never seen
an O-ring failure when using Hylomar.
