I must say that I have a new appreciation of how much force a governor can exert.
Rest assured , Greg. the governor force did not bend the.limiter.
So, it must have been another FORCE.
Something was dropped on it?
Could not imagine anything in the engine room heavy enough to do that. Maybe starter motor, but not convinced.
Damaged when engine was being removed or reinstalled would be my guess. The weight of a swinging engine would probably do the trick.
Time to get a new one anyway.
