what happened to your pre cups? they are such hard material, I did'nt think anything could go wrong with them. I have heard they can get loose in the head but that's a head problem

I've got one in a TD 1.6 head that is cracked 75% the way around it. (through the center of the opening up around the wall of it)

I bought a cheap replacement head and they are steel as they are magnetic.  I might as well throw this head away as it won't last. 

1 need to replace this 1 prechamber/swirl chamber and it seems almost impossible to find them.  Do 1.6 NA fit TD?  I thought I read on here
that they don't?

They are a very hard material, I think as said before a Nickel based alloy.

all four precups on my aaz head are cracked, probably a magnetic metal.  won't know for sure until I get back to the car, It's in Victorville, after a crash that totaled my car. :o  I now have a totaled car to worry about. :'(

I guess the magnetic thing - the only point I was trying to make is that these are not a low alloy steel of some type.  They could be a copper/nickel mix of some type that is a hard material as it chewd up a carbide I was using to see how deep the cracks were.  I guess all I was saying is they are not steel.  It has a marking on the side of it that says CU68 (one other letter I can read CU68X).

The marking on the side of it is (cleaned it off better) CU H1, under that is 068F. Part # perhaps?

 No it isn't. Tried mine this morning. Discussions I had with my boss at work about grinding them on our (mag base) surface grinder. Said years back when these were more common he had to make up a steel fixture with set screws to to hold them so they could be ground.

wtf...
my prechambers out of my 1.5 were magnetic.
cause i got one too close to my sub woofer, and it stuck to it.

and another thing, i just took a precup, and stuck a magnet to it. and it stuck GOOD.
besides, ferrous metal is magnetic, and precups rust, so that tells me there is some sort of iron in there.
