Okay, so Rob at Pineapple say's the side plates look like they can be resurfaced. And he sold me a good rotor and usable rotor housing for a good price. So now I will do some mods to the cooling passages and such, then off to resurfacing and recoating.
I just saved myself a lot of money, which I can now dump into performance mods to the motor, hehe

Well dropped off the side plates yesterday to get lapped. Hopefully the grooves aren't deep enough where they have to remove more than 0.004" of material.
I got a good rotor from Pineapple and ordered a Cermet B coated JHB rotor housing for the rear.
Jared Still ordered me a mazmart water pump and high flow thermostat and I will be making some coolant mods to the rear rotor housing to improve cooling performance even further. See attached pictures to get an idea what I'm doing.
And I'm in the process of ordering engine parts, will be ordering the last of it Tuesday when I got money in my bank account again, lol.

Well I got my side plates, JHB Cermet B coated rotor housing and seal kit in today.
The machinist had to take off 0.004" for both the front and rear plate, 0.005" and 0.003" for the rear and front respectively on the center plate. He also said that the center plate was 0.0035" out of parallel. Hopefully the TiN is still intact on all the faces, will have to test the micro surface hardness to confirm.
The Cermet B housing needs to be port matched and have my intended coolant mod performed on it.
I've decided to stick with my original front rotor housing mostly due to my finances and it's still in good shape. That is rather amazing considering it has a little over 100K miles on it and it has gone through four engine failures now. I just plan on cleaning it up a little with a little lapping.
Nice build!
