Nope, it was that way when I took it out. I can't imagine anything hit it, she'* running good, so my plugs and valves are intact. I'm thinking it got really hot.

Yep, the A/F gauge has been showing rich for about a month. The sensor failed toward the rich side and the ECM thought it should lean it out. The new one finally arrived from GMPD.
