However here is another look: If you are not 100% sure that your cooling system is up to par why potentially waste a brand new set of housings while working out cooling issues? With all the know-how accumulated on this list that is probably not a big issue any more. But if unsure and staying within easy glide distance from your airport during initial testing it may be the way to go for some... If using the teflon o-rings from Tracy, they can be reused when rebuilding with pristine housings. Rotors is another matter entirely as Ed has pointed out. If grooves are out of spec don't use.
