like in a 2-stroke, or an air compressor
my compressor ate the reed valves for a snack one day, tried to make new ones from that really tough plastic packaging material. well, they lasted all of 15 seconds!
it's a tough spot, some advanced metallurgy is needed to create something that lasts a decent amount of time. much like valve springs, many decades of failure before we got to the reliability we expect these days.
good idea you had, buying a bad one just for the disc!
