1. Ignition barrel
2. Lower column cowel (plastic panel that surrounds ignition area- snapped off)
3. Oil pressure switch (the one furthest from cambelt- the near one is ok). They snapped it off. as you do when stealing a car....3 hours later...10 miles down the road. Odd one that!
4. Plastic housing for water pipes that mates to the gearbox end of the engine. Houses the two water sensors. that's melted, it has a misfire and the oil pressure switch +adding oil makes me suspect it got super hot on cyl 4. plug looked black with soot/ oil. Didn't look melted though. I've yet to hear it run myself.

At least it's back and not bent, on fire, trashed, etc.

Got cowel and i think the oil pressure switch he can have if postage is covered!

Pikeying a G40 is never a good idea, i am sure only 5% of them are running smoothly. should stick to tarmacing

I passed your message on physicsfool, his brother said he was in touch with someone from here about it (may be you, I'm unsure). Thanks.
