Here is a picture of the melted rotor housing.
Wow!
I'd say you got your money's worth out of that one.
Damn...
As for the
blued end housings, I'll be interested to hear what the "seen it all" folks have
to say about that. Some dark spots can be considered normal, but knowing
what the engine went throught, I'd be reluctant to use them again.
After my oil out, I had dark areas that initially looked OK to me, but I think
it was Leon who pointed out the likelyhood of cracks from the heat. Sure
enough, on close examination, there were some small cracks. That was a
different problem, so take the comment for what (little) it's worth.
If the rotor
housings got crushed as you say, are you sure the rotors weren't scuffing
on the side housings? I'd presume that's what caused the overheated areas
on the side housings. Did all the rotor seals come out easily, grooves
look good, etc? Maybe the rotors are OK.
I hate to say
it, but you might be better off starting with a fresh engine.
Good
luck,
Rusty
