If the rotor slot is worn, he can repair it. The process is to slide a slightly oversized seal in and then press the sides of the slot back down. He said the slots don't actually wear away, but get sorta smashed to the side. The rotor is ductile iron and works easily like that. -- This is by far the hardest lesson about freedom.
