A727 Stator
I found another stator on ebay with the 2 holes and the one checkball.
I took a closer look at those metal fragments and they have a flat bottom and the top is a dome shape. The flat bottom appears to be the original shape with the dome being somewhat deformed. I am not seeing that the fragments were ever round.
Anything like that in the TC that would have come out and lodged into the front seal ?
