Hello all,
Its been along time since I posted. I have had my rx8 sitting in my driveway for years and the market is so bad in Florida that you practically have to give the car away to sell it. Anyways, after reading all of the REW swap threads I decided to attempt one as well. I purchased a blown motor from Japan for $1350 and tore it down over the weekend. As expected the front front was blown and it appears that an apex seal cracked and went through the housing. I know the housing needs to be replaced and expect that the rotor will also be replaced. There are some gouges near the apex seal, but not on the apex groove. If there is no damage to the apex groove, can the rotor be reused? IF not, what is the reason?
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
