Subject: Mazda Service doesn't do engines]

I called a local mazda dealer's service department, seeking a second opinion on
my used rotors. I was told by the service writer that dealer service depts do
not take down engines, they don't even know what things inside look like, they
just get a new engine form Mazda. Hmmmm.
Does anyone out there who has the experience of rebuilding a rotary make
inspection measurements as called for in the shop manual? During cleaning I
found some "minor" dings and dents, and some burrs along the edges (not seals)
that I carefully stoned out in a 2 step process, med-fine, then very fine. the
rotor housing clearence passes minimum of .1mm. but there are still some
cosmetic issues where some knuckle head used a brass hammer, and a couple other
dings. Would anyone here care to see pictures and offer comment?
Will be posting turbo manifold this evening, along with other picuters if there
is an interest.
