old rotor 28.7mm
new rotor 30.5mm
the back of rotor stamped, min 28.5mm, so No can't turn rotors (cause I believe once you turn 28.7mm it'll probably be around 28.5mm or less).
That's on 2002 4.4i.
BTW, I put mine in recycle bin but co-worker told me scrap metal place will pay by the pound on that hunk of steel maybe offset some of the cost but I just don't have time.

Thanks for the info. I read were 10.2mm was the tell factor for replacement. I measured my entire width of my rotor and it is at 29.8mm. I wondered if the place I read that 10mm was just the measurement for just one plate, not the ventilation part of the rotor. So I measured it. What is the official way to measure?
