aftermarket SMICs still being made anywhere?
How do you figure that? The exhaust side is physically separated from the compressor, so there is no possible way for an apex seal to get in there. I would be VERY surprised to see a cold side fin get chewed up as the result of apex seals letting go. Now if the previous owner neglected to run an air filter... that's different.
^^Probably thinking of a compressor wheel letting go, usually the nut coming off, rather than anything coming out of the engine shearing the turbine off.
In those cases, have found bits a couple of feet away from the disintegration site. Usually can be cleaned out of ICs and air filters without a huge effort.
Ric Shaw here sells a dual pass SMIC, AVO used to do a SP replica bar and plate one too, maybe still?
