Tom,

This rotor was *really* rusty and actually had some surface pitting.  I'm
sure I could have gotten away without having them turned (as far as the
rust goes), but because as I mentioned in another post, the run-out was
severe enough to warrant having them turned anyway.  I didn't measure the
run-out before having them turned, but I'll bet it was at least .010" or
even greater.
