I have all the pictures of Ryan's motor after we took the bitch apart on Saturday evening. It's probably contains the most trashed rotor and housing that I've ever seen.
Unfortunately all of these pictures were taken from my cell phone so the quality isn't great but you can definitely get the idea.

[quote name='Cheers!' date='Jul 26 2005, 11:34 AM']Did you guys send those pictures to greddy yet? Is anything internal in that motor any good still?

There rear rotor and housing are OK, there are some signs of detonation but certainly not in great condition...
I think last Ryan talked to greddy they really didn't want to believe that anything could possibly be their fault...

On the bad rotor? They were ****, there's like no way they are even gonna come out of the rotor. Same with the other 2 apex seals that didn't blow, they just were sunk so deep into the rotor itself. Also one of the corner seal's was all turned around and oriented the wrong way.
