Do I Need a New Motor

I just cracked open my keg and noticed some wear that doesn't look so hot. I would like to hear from some experts on whether I should just go get another motor or if I can possibly use these parts, just get new seals. Any input is appreciated.

Apex Side Seal Wear


Center Plate Wear


Front Plate Wear


Rear Plate Wear


Rotor Housing Finish


Light Chatter Marks


Rear Rotor Gear Side


Rear Rotor Front Side


Front Rotor Back Side

Welcome..

Um, no idea. It looks way better than the one I had. We had to use vise grips to get the apex seals out... That one was "traded in" and mazda reman became the basis for the new one.

There are several good builders within a few hours drive of where you are. You could haul the pieces there.

It's probably a good idea to get it inspected by a pro.
It would suck to go through time & expense to put it back together just to do it over again.
