What year? Sorry about your misfortune

Near the end of the 2019 production run… reminds me of all the 2020’s that dropped valves…

Thanks, very glad it’s under warranty.

That looks like Inter-granular fracture... but I would need to put it into the SEM to verify.
If you want to send it, I will be glad to analyze the mode of fracture for you... you have my address I believe.
No charge, since you sold me the World's Greatest Oil Drain & Funnel Kit.

How very very kind of you. I offered them a cool 20 spot for the old engine but they’re playing hardball…. I’ll let you know how the negotiations go, but I think they’re holding out for at least $50.

All I need is the piece you were holding in the photo... if you still have it, sent it.... free Metallurgical analysis.

Lol, you mean the smashed spark plug? I think the technical terminology from my mechanic was “the spark plug got beat to sh*t dude.” Im no wizard, but that sounds pretty scientific to me!

If the photo you showed was a damaged fracture surface, then I withdrawal my Metallurgical Offer.

Metallurgically, the metallurgical analysis of a metallurgical analyzed analysis would offer a metallurgical answer based on the metallurgical analysis.
