thats exactly where they were machined, but they didnt cut enough off?



i think the rotors have been scrapped, they might be fixable, but who knows in what other ways they are off

Rotors are different widths where they make no contact with anything. When building a screamer, you cut about .015 additional off the sides outboard of the oil scrapers to allow for crank flex. This is so the corner seal area does not touch the irons. More alarming is that seldom are the rotor housings the same width, and some are narrow enough that you need to keep one piece seals used in that housing separate from others (shorter).

Twin turbo FD rotors had some material removed in the areas you are talking about to help with higher revs than the turbo 2 FC's.

Maybe someone has used earlier rotors and modded them but not quite enough.
