Any insight if these irons are reusable

Rebuilt many 13b. Was gonna get some replacements but there are slim pickings. I have 2-fd and a fc. Just aquired my first 8 its a 6 port renesis 04 with 100k unmolested (no mods). For 3k. Smoked so tore down as norm ordered a master rebuild kit from atkins. Water jacket seals pulled apart in 3 peices on both housings. On rear rotor side plates scorn and burnt at oil seals. Outer ring welded itself half into rotors. Cleaning plates I noticed a very light groove where oul seal wasn't set and one small spot where it pitted above rear gear. I'm in va beach and there are only 2 builders here me and another. No local machine shop to get lapped and nitraded. Will post pics I can't lie I've rebuilt with worse but new to the renesis 6port. Not much difference but many weird ones like theport job factory gave looks like my sons coloring book. Should I run em as ghey are as it will be a daily till I get one of my fds va street legal.
