General question, what causes a spark plug tip to break off and fall into the cylinder, I’ve heard many different things from knock to loose spark plugs.
Bouncing of the limiter when doing drifts and burnouts, misfires, basically and bad or interrupted combustion cycle.

It misfired during the pull and it spitten some coolant out the reservoir as well. Ive added a coolant pressure sensor now thanks to Reflex. This indicates head lift immediately.

Did you have stock head bolts or upgraded headstuds?
