Hi P,
I don't mean to give you the run around, but if you do a search for 'runout' you'll see lots of threads about the subject.
Regards,
Alan

I too did it earlier and got a bunch of non related BS. ANy help pointing him in the right direction as in a link to the posts??? Don't mean to come of as a problem child, but I can see his frustration. Maybe we just don't know how to use the search???

I tried rotor runout, runout, rotor run out, and run out. Maybe the info should be tucked into the archive, frequently asked area if we have one. Sorry still learning this site as a Johnny come lately

Thanks in advance for helping him

Not to hijack this thread, but how do you fix a rotor with too much runout if the rotar is slotted and drilled?

Use a dial indicator and find out where the roto is high and low. Add stainless shim to the LOW spots until its spot on. Simple as that!!
