Is the rotor ok?
Trying to figure it out to see if I need to buy a new one.. been waiting to get an opinion for about a month and my rebuild is at a stand still.

77 cylinders, 4 rotors...
Yes replace it. That area is a critical part of sealing/wear success/failure for a build. You can find other used rotors in much better shape.

Only reason I thought about this route was to salvage the rotors. Far less expensive than replacing rotors. I've been trying to find them new in Japan for a reasonable price. The used ones I've found are doing the same thing as mine are now.
