Here's a before cleaning pic of mine with the veins in enough to be touching the fins. (ignore the Butterfinger wrappers they're not mine ha)

from the pic the unison ring looks busted/cracked right where they usually fail.

Here's an after pic, I don't think it even needed cleaning but I had it out of the truck anyways so... There are no cracks, pitting, or any galling. All in all it looks really good. I gave it a coating of anti-seize and then wiped off all I could get off. Where do they usually crack, I've never seen a cracked/bad one.

when looking at your unison ring picture (at the 9 o'clock position) where there is no vane, cracks are near the inside edge at the narrowest point. From the picture it looks like there is a crack. in the latest picture above the flash is too bright to see the same area (6:30 position).

Oh, interesting, must be some serious stress and/or heat cycles going on inside a turbo
thanks Bench.
