First Rebuild questions
I recently got a 07 rx8 that is a roller. I started tearing down the engine and I found that one rotor was Rusty, and there was some rust where the coolest was on the rotor housing and on the irons. I also found a ridge on the rotor housing. There doesn't seem to be any flaking or have much chatter.
How flat dose the inside of the rotor housing have to be?
I was wondering how much rust is ok for the rotors, housing, and irons?
should I sand off the rust on the rotor, buy a new rotor, or leave it as is and hope for the best?
I have pictures of it attached

I sense you're trying to cram "rebuild" and "budget" in the same process.
This is a bad plan.
You can do it right the first time or you can do it right the 2nd/3rd/4th time for 2/3/4x the cost of doing it right the first time.
