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.

Sure send the pictures.

Here are some images. I didn't want to compress them too much, and loose all
the detail.
If there is a particular size you prefer to the group, please let me know.

Those are some strange marks but I don't see anything that is a show stopper.
As long as the holes for the end seals are not too oversize you should be
OK. The pict size is fine. Perhaps a few too many but OK for this once.
