    Most in here know that's bull feces, but still, I thought I'd document the 2 chips that I've gotten in my PEI 4 tile over the three years that it's been installed and in regular use. Today, my son had an FA20 block in an engine stand and the head off a bolt holding it broke, and it went down...
