I've seen conflicting information on if this was a 737-800NG or a MAX-8 (although based on the reported delivery date it would have had to have an NG). Assuming I'm correct that it was an NG, there are something like 5,000 of them flying around with the same cowl design, racking up well north of a million engine hours per month.
Given this is the first reported cowling 737 cowling event I can recall, it certainly doesn't sound like the kind of generic problem they had on the A320.
But don't let that stop the dedicated Boeing bashers...
