if it looks like there is rust on this inside then your on limited time. a cap and rotor wont prevent it from failing. it may last a year or fail 2 days from now. if it was me i would buy a whole new opti especially if everything is still all taken apart

Agreed, it might be over your current budget right now, but it's a worth while sacrifice. You're saving headache and possibly being stranded.
