Yup, looks like something was beating the hell outta that plug. Piston peices from severe detination maybe.

Im curious as to what else you guys find in reguards to what caused the untimely failure.

And there in lies the problem, who can you trust to do a good job reflashing or tuning your ECU. These guys, here, are always slinging mud at each other and people often complain of ECU pulling timing because of pinging as the weather changes ...
