I would try to figure out why your "rotor is like smashed to ****". That doesn't normally happen. A possibility is the bearings are going bad and overheating causing the rotor to melt. When my bearings went it didn't totally destroy the rotor and cap but it meted and distorted the rotor resulting in a loss of timing.
