Hi A&C,

Thank you for your response - it is appreciated.

The aircraft was 18 months old and the engine hours 200 when the fault occurred.

Lycoming O360.

I am getting a message loud and clear that the part should not have been junked prior to an investigation (apart from the fact that I was not asked for/ did not give my consent for it to be chucked away).

This failure had grave flight safety implications (I brought the 50 hour forward by 6 hours because I was flying the aircraft overseas, a trip involving various over-water legs.
