[s-cars] RE: NAC: 951 power loss

[Bob DG]

Turbine blades are made of aluminum. this means two things-

1- motor parts are usually steel, cast iron- which is harder than aluminum. 
Damage could be minimal depending on the size of the debris.

2- a magnetic drainplug will not pick up aluminum turbine debris.
