One other thing, Jack.....I thought about what you said above, and I found a picture here:
It doesn't look like my piston indentations, unless you think about what might be inside those proboscises.
I haven't ever taken one apart, but it has to be a resistive wire/metal of some kind and those are usually very malleable and soft. I wonder if one of those could be too long, get bent over and after 3k miles, break off and sit around in the combustion chamber, unable to get past the exhaust valve.
Even more interesting, I'll bet there's a long piece of wire in those GP bodies.....
