  • Seems like even the most basic of intake builder would know that both sides had to be even/the same....

    I dont know crap about intakes but I know they are symmetrical.

    Did they give a reason why it happened? Programming error?

      The error was symmetrical. At this point it appears all the errors were administrative - not forwarding the details of the build to the machinist and finishing teams, etc. Funny thing is that this place doesnt appear to be any bigger than a Subway in a strip mall so its hard to imagine how the simple things are overlooked. What's worse is that in their eyes its just part of the process. Pretty unreal....




      To say I'm disappointed is an understatement. Surprised? Nope. Pissed? More like desensitized. At this point, I almost expect something to go wrong. If these issues are the worst things that happen over the remainder of this build, I will consider myself fortunate. Better now than when it gets in the car....

        At least youve got the right attitude... Hate to look at it that way, but at this point its about all thats right.

          • Why not just make a 5 degree wedge to fit between the head and the intake runner flange and port-match the "wedge"?
