I have a MET Premium and noticed that the two magnet cores (Sparky and Grave) were looking banged up and slightly mushroomed. I've also started getting some airballs that may or may not be related (we will see...). I replaced the Sparky core but not sure if I did it too soon or not. When should you replace cores?

Quoted from Fezmid:

When should you replace cores?

When you grind them too short to reuse.

So I didn't need to buy new ones, I could've just re-used the one I have? Good to know for the future... Oops. Lol
