Geez i dunno, i didnt think ther was any difference at first, until i looked the "flats" over between the two.... the flats dont align together if you align the vanes with the two together (on top of each other) If you align the "vanes" of the rotors, then the "flats" dont align. So i was thinkin of the timing aspect of it when i saw the two rotor`s together, and they didnt match as far as where the flats were, by comparing the two. Kinda like valve timing... if both valve`s are open, well you get what i meen.

I dunno...
I will flip the outer one an see what happens... who know`s, maybe thats whats wrong with why i havent been able to get any oil pressure. I`m just throwing out anything as a possible/probable cause. I got nothin left to try.

I`m gonna go thru to the weekend workin on this, and if this SE kit dont work by then, or have found the problem i`m puttin the original stuff back in the bike an just run it the way it is. Nothin wrong with the original, i just figured i`d be better off updating it with the SE camplate/oil pump stuff.
