coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/20/2021 5:41 pm On the BIE question. You have to ask yourself? Is there more metal there than if it was flattened? If yes, you have a BIE. If the area is all incuse, and lower and the devices are distorted, then it would be damage. That just the two questions you need to ask yourself. But you do have a BIE. That is how you determine if it is a BIE or not. Report this Post to the Staff
