HEH!! I resemble that term! (substitute 'popcorn' for bubble wrap).

Hey, I didn't say it,  at least you  tried.  I was thinking that I could actually fix the dents at the apex seal slots then I started looking at the bearings.  They seem to be shot (just based on color changes).  I can get the bearings replaced... but I don't feel like waiting that long and would really prefer the 9.7 rotors. 
 
I called Mazdatrix today and they have a pair of used 9.7 rotors... but they don't want to sell them because they are used in the race engines.....  we finally settled on $300 each for them!  (better than $600 each for new ones) 
 
Anyway there is no loss from poor packing.  I just have a poor bank account from trying to get the best price on e-bay.
