Help, Coil Pack Question

[INDESTRUCTIBLE]

So im in the process of finally putting on all the parts that have been sitting in my garage for months, frpp intake manifold, throttle body, jlt intake, etc. I was pulling off the ignition coils to change the plugs and also to make room cuz im putting on powder coated valve covers. so while i was pulling one of them off, something inside broke, i just heard a snap and when pulled it out, had small chips of some material falling out. They are granatelli exteme pro series packs (these were not bought by choice, had a tech article done on my car for 5.0 mag and they just came in the package). so anyway, i just need to know if anyone knows what could have been the piece that broke and if i can still use them or have to buy new ones, or even maybe mix in some stock ones(obvious im desperate). thanks for the help.

Short Version:
How delicate are coil packs, a piece of one broke while i was taking it out and dont know what the piece was or does but am looking for any suggestions or help, thanks.

ok while i try that out, just to give ppl an idea it was the metal ring in the middle of the coil, if you just search for gms coil packs you can see what im talking about.

Anything that comes out in "small chips with material falling out" sounds broken. I'd call Granatelli and inquire about a warranty. In the mean time, I'd do what 94tbird said do and put the OEM ones back in, all of them, until you get some feedback from Granatelli.

Sounds like their "patented" ring to help reduce any RFI/EFI. I thought Granatelli offered a lifetime warranty on their craftsmanship. Might be worth sending them an email.

+1.

Its the shitty material used to make the magnet in the spring. Heat and gunk can break them up. It wont effect the cop operation.
