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.
 C. Smith

 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.

Definitely seen better rotors.  I would question anything from the guy
with the hammer.

These appear to be 86-88 (8.5 CR) turbo rotors based on the rough cast
recess.  (pic#1)
To confirm, you will need to check the weight or the depth of the recess.
I have attached an old recess check for NA rotors, I don't have any
turbo stuff handy. (pic#2)

The rotors "might" be usable but you will want to spec them VERY carefully.
Check for Lynn Hannover's apex seal slot V wear.  He stands an apex seal
vertically out
of the apex seals slot.  It should have less than 3/16"? play.
Several of the corners appear to be slightly bent like in your pic#3 -
you will want to make
really sure that the corner seal (and other seals) moves freely.   The
corners are very flexible
and easily damaged.
You probably want to remove any of the ding that is proud or sticks out
from the surface. (pic#1)
Good used S5 rotors seem to go for about $75-100 apiece.
