Can anyone dentify this rotor housing damage?
Does anyone recognize this type of rotor housing damage?

It is from a 202,000 mile FC.

The first two pictures are after a chemical wash.
The third and fourth are after a acetone rubdown.

Looks like it was starved of oil.

It just flat wore all the chrome off of the housing and was down to the steel liner!
