so i have heard of people having the rotor housings refinised. i talking about the acctual combustion wall were the apex seal rides. i have a good housing with a scrape along the edge were the corner seal failed. i have now purcased two different housing only to receive crap parts. the last one i got was awful i dont' even know how you could melt a housing but this one was melted. so basically im wondering if anyone has had this done with success and who did the work. also how good do the housings need to be? i have heard of people using them if there alittle scaped up after a apex seal failer.

If the damage is bad enough, the cost to fix it will not be worth it.
