    I thought I noticed something that didn't look right.

    I pulled out what you see in the 2nd pic; what is remaining of the honeycomb.

    Eurocode?

    Happened to my 034 one. After so much time I guess they clog and self detonate.

    Considering they charge a lot of money for these hfc, you would expect for them to last...

    Very few of these companies invest in metal core converters, usually they are all ceramic cast, however that does look like its metal core. Ceramic usually breaks up in chunks.

    You can buy a new HFC core off Amazon and have it welded on in place.

    Yeah. I punched it all out, cleaned the inside as nice as I could and ran it as a test pipe.

    Great to hear bro! Idk about enjoying it, it blew up a few months back. I have a post about it. The intake cam adjuster failed; another known issue with these motors. Ugh
