@Pawlicker Yes, the other businesses usually just have to cope and seethe and either scrape the metal shavings out, or if the engine is buggered, throw it out and outsource a 3rd party to grind down the metal to the correct length so the remaining engines work (or do it internally if they have the tooling).

Court cases and the likes can take months or years, while it often takes a few weeks at most and less expenses to just get the material shipped off to a 3rd party to grind it to the correct size, or even change the design to suit.

Although, typically the business will go to another metal supplier who is known for not scamming - unlike in computing where businesses keep going back to microsoft no matter how many times they get scammed.
