Rotor Detonation

Here is some unique damage on theses pictures. This is usually a result of over boosting an engine to perform more than it was mean to push.  It could have been from a miss firing, or back firing that causes an extreme amount of pressure to be pushed against the highlighted spot when it wasn’t suppose to be hit.  In any case damage like this destroys the rotor, not only if you filled it it’d be off balance, but it’d be a waste of time to fix.
