I put a replacement oil cap on the S on Install Day but didn't look at it too closely beforehand ... the other day I took it off to try it on the Fit & noticed the thread lead-in was missing / ground down / broken see circled in pic:



Does anyone know: is this just part of the manufacturing process to remove the sharp thread lead, or should I be worried that something has broken off (& fallen in the engine)?

OK, it sounds like a dumb question but I figure the dumbest question is the one not asked ... especially if it might wreck the engine

 

Where did you get it. Can you go back and take a look at another one?

 

Looks normal to me. Just remember that we change presidents more than I remove my oil cap.

 

Online - pics only show the top...

 

"chnshe"

 

Thought it may have been some US/frat thing that I wasn't aware of

 

Where did my post go????

 

I saw it - it just said "change" - now it's gone...

 

I'm sorry... you guys crack me up!

May have been a defect out of the box. Since you didn't check, who knows.
