Thanks for contacting our customer service department regarding this, they should be able to send you out replacement components.
Quick question regarding the install. What spec did you torque the center bolt down with when installing? Just trying to get an idea of why this component failed. And just to confirm, the sandwich plate is the damaged item? Shown below.
Thanks! |
Hey,
No, not the thermostatic sandwich plate. It is the cnc spacer (top one specifically, that the oil filter sits on) that cracked. I was torquing down to 30lb-ft. However, it never even got to much more than 1-2 lb-ft. It cracked effortlessly.
Customer Service just emailed me about an hour ago saying they are sending me off a new spacer
EDIT:
I attached the cracked spacer with cracks circled in red.
EDIT 2:
Oops, ignore the bottom 2 circles, those are just marks. There are 2 more cracks in the same location as the top 1, but you can't see them due to the camera angle.
