I was working on my Porsche last night and after my 5th Heineken I found what looked to be a broken piston ring in my front left pocket. Should I be concerned? Could it have found its way from my engine? Maybe I should switch to Coors light.

Heineken is not factory approved .
I suggest you get rid of the Heineken asap and refill with any from the Cannstatter Volksfest approved list and try again .
