    Steve asks
    If one injector/keeper/rocker failed after 25 hours what's the likelihood of
    the batch being bad? I know they xray airplanes to check for metal
    failures so what can a visual check accomplish?

    REPLY
    There is a process called magnaflux and also a flouroscope and flourescent
    dye that is used to check for microscopic fatigue cracks in highly stressed
    metal parts on aircraft and race cars.

    Check your yellow pages for a local high performance shop or a precision
    machine shop that offers such a service.

    A Google search for Magnaflux brought many pages of results as did
    Flouroscope.

    Regards
    Arild
