James,

I would would be VERY skeptical. Are those ridges on the flange/motor
side? I just pulled an RS2 mani off for umpteenth time and this time it
only has 10k on it. All other times varied between 10k-30k. EVERY time
it needed/needs to get planed flat again. They tend to bow out between
20-40 thousanths at #1 and 5. It's a gradual bow that starts at #2 and
4. 

So if an actual RS2 mani does this, I wonder what a replica would do? 

Just casting my $.02 woth into the pond...
