1) Really.Where did you get this done around here?
2) REally. Like what? Exactly does one "check" for? One would have to dissassemble the engine to check in the relative way you are talking about. Not likely
3) Really? You take them out, send them out and get this done? Where? Who did this for you?
4) Yes there is constant wear. You are using them. Exactly how could there NOT be constant wear?

 

2. You mean they actually take your engine apart every time they do an oil change to check the cylinder walls? How much do they charge for that?
4. No, O RLY?

 

By shaving top layer containing cracks off.

 

2. There are diff ways of inspection
4. Ya RLY.

 

damn jeff, on point today, beat me to just about every post

 

You cannot crack the surface of a rotor

 

Really? Please show me an example of a small surface crack that's resulted in an accident. NOT to be confused to a crack associated with a drilled rotor. THOSE radial cracks typically are all the way though the rotor. NOT the surface cracks you are referring to.

 

Like What?
What parts did Jeff mention that don't constantly wear? Enlighten me

 

Not in the way you are referring to with the rotors.

Take the cams for example. One would have to remove the, put them on a dial indicator and measure the run out, then check the micropolished surfaces for inperfections.

Let me know the last time you had this done. Because clearly you have changed your oil multiple times so far.

 

Just buy a new one from OCautosport, Just got mine front and back drilled for $220. divided by 4 equal less worry ,less paying a guy to re-surface the rotor and your good for another 60,000 miles . oh the pads are only $85 front and back. $3500 for big brakes . I will post the progress how the Quality of the rotors in a week or so.

 

1. You can do it your self. Just visually check for cracks or any other visible damage. And while wheels are being balanced you can see if there is any deformations to a wheel.
2. Just check for any visible oil leaks, and if engine behavior does not suggest that there is anything wrong with it then you don't need to replace it till about 200+k
3. Also could be done easily by using injector cleaning products.
4. They don't wear out as often as rotors do. You will need to replace them after 200+k

 

And there you have lost your argument my friend, the same way that you can check your engine you can check your rotors for "anything wrong" using a dial indicator and visible inspection, JUST LIKE THE SERVICE MANUAL STATES

 

You get the wheels balanced w/o the tires? When?

That's NOT the same relative to what you are detailing. What you are advocating is EXACTLY the same as what Redlude97 and I'm advocating relative to the rotors. Inspect and repair/replace if necessary.

Exactly how does one sonicly clean and FLOW BALANCE each injector while they are still installed in the engine? Note. I've actually had this done w/ my maxima injectors.

Exactly what is "they". And where do you get this 200k spec from?

 

Where are these questions going to get answered?

 

Will it show the cracks?

What if a hot spot is big enough and you tested right on it?


Anyways.

[Miss South Carolina] I personally believe [/Miss South Carolina]
That it is better to resurface the rotors when replacing pads. In some cases the improvement will not be very significant and resurfacing is not necessary but in most cases it is.

And when your life and life of ppl around you sometimes depends on performance of your brakes I choose to resurface my rotors every time I replace my pads.
Which usually only once for a life of rotors.

And Nissan/Infiniti OEM rotors absolutely suck *****.
