At least on my Mitubitshi tractor, there has been much evidence of ether
causing the precombustion chamber, or possibly the chambers liner, to
break away from the head, falling to the obvious conclusion.

I'm assuming this is caused by the ether combusting /in/ the precombustion
chamber....


Never had any issue with this on any of our VWs...but I havent had
the head off this Mitsi to see how it's built, either, though.
