I showed the damaged rotor, rotor housing and front side iron to Dave Atkins=
, the local expert. He thinks my engine suffered FOD but the entry point is a=
 mystery. The broken side iron is My fault: thermal shock. The aluminum roto=
r housing experienced thermal expansion faster and greater than the side iro=
n because I went to high power before the engine was sufficiently warm. The a=
lignment dowel was moved outward by the growing aluminum housing and cracked=
 out the side iron around the dowel, which is also the oil gallery
