Rotor Housing Inspection

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2011 Mazda RX-8, 2010 Mazda RX-8, 2009 Mazda RX-8, 2008 Mazda RX-8, and 2007 Mazda RX-8. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Measure the width of the rotor housing at four points (A, B, C, and D) as shown in the figure using a micrometer.
  2. Compute the width variation.
    • If it exceeds the maximum, replace the rotor housing.

    Width Difference = (width A) - (the smallest of widths B, C, or D) 

    Maximum Width Difference 

    1. 0.06 mm {0.0024 in}
