I just got mine a couple of weeks ago, but it will be a LONG time before I install them. Is it safe to assume that they would be the corrected version? I am a bit nervous now.

Toolguy on this forum has a template for fitment based on his OE HEs. I would email him to ask for a paper copy to transfer to plexiglas to double check the Stoddard replacements. |

Actually, after I posted, I realized that I still have the 911 exchangers that came with the motor, so I can make my own template. I plan on doing that this weekend and reporting back. |

Well, my first preliminary check tonight is somewhat discouraging. I took a small level and laid it across the flanges to see if they were on or close to a plane. They are not. ![]() ![]() ![]() These last two are of the 911 unit that came with my motor. MUCH more level. ![]() ![]() I think that I have some 1/8 plate around the garage somewhere. If I can squeeze it in this weekend, I will make a jig and see if the bolt holes line up and how much force it takes to bring these into plane. However, given that they are visibly out and it is steel (exchangers) vs. aluminum (heads), I don't know that I want to live with that kind of stress pulling at my exhaust studs. More to come... |

QA is a thing of the past ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Yeah, that was my thought is well. How hard would it be to pass it through a QA station where somebody simply placed a jig across the flanges to verify that they are flat and the holes line up. Is that really too much to ask when these things cost three thousand freaking dollars?!?!? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
