yep.



1st question, 10a 12a or 13b? 13b rotors are 80mm wide, 12a 70mm, 10a, 60mm....



12a rotors come in about 4 flavors



70-73 6mm apex seal, dual side seals, paper wieght material



74-76 3mm apex seals, combustion chamber is symetrical



77-82 same as the above, but combustion chamber is teardrop shaped, LEADING deep recess. they are different front to rear



83-85 lighter than the 77-82 rotors, they have a 2 letter stamp in the combustion recess instead of just f or r



13b rotors



74-83 3mm apex groove, 9.2:1 compression 12lbs



84-85 9.4:1 compression, not sure how to id these vs the older ones



86-88 NON turbo, 2mm cast combustion recess, its shallow.



86-88 TURBO, same as above but the combustion recess is deep (2" vs .5")



89-91 NON turbo, these have a fully machined face, 9.7:1



89-91 TURBO, same as the non turbo, fully machined, recess will be deeper



93-02 TURBO, same as the 89-91, but have a better rotor bearing



03-now, shallower apex seal groove, it has an extra cut for the oil seal protector ring, even shallower combustion dish, its very square too
