Good Question... I have no idea.
Is there supposed to be something in this hole on the heat exchanger?
I really hope they just replace it this is crazy
In gonna scope everything. I did check the hole where the bypass valve is. The hole goes straight to the valves and everything was clean from what I could see but I haven't scoped yetI would just take a look see. If anything made it by the heat exchanger it is already gone through the motor. I would just scope it to see if there is any damage but like I said, anything that made it that far has had to have been burnt up or sent out the exhaust.
I haven't scoped it yet but I can tell you I looked right down into the valves below where the bypass valve is on the manifold and its cleanSince you already have the blower off, just to be on the safe side, I would pull the intake manifold. If for no other reason, than to remove and inspect the heat exchanger.
If your kit was missing parts, and had unfinished machine work from the factory, it is 100% K.B’s responsibility to make it right.
Well I couldnt suck anything out. It was very small trust me I tried that first. By the way it was all aluminum. Everything was non ferrous. And the small pieces I did blow out were smaller than a finger nail clipping odd comparison but all I could think of haha. And I only saw like 3 small pieces and with it being aluminum it didnt hurt anythingFor future reference, do not use compressed air to blow away the debris. Do not use a shop vac. Try to gather all the metal pieces and put them on a paper towel or white rag. Use a magnet to see what is steel vs what is aluminum. Do this to help figure out what went wrong.
Take the manifold off. The car is going to be down for a while and its the smart thing to do. Look for more debris in the manifold and also for anything caught in the heat exchanger.
I know you don't think so, but those marks on the rotors look exactly like it sucked something in and the rotors chewed it up. Maybe something was loose and it took some time to fully come out. I don't know. But its unlikely that somehow a rotor failed. I don't see any indication of that.
