I’ll admit that I was one of the people who had fitment problems, but I’m writing now to ask if anyone else here that bought one lives in or around Grand Rapids, MI? I’d like to try a different manifold just to see, because I sent mine back to wax (or a proxy, anyway), and he said it worked fine. Thanks in advance.We have had two people tell us that while the bolts go into the cylinder just fine it was a little tight. the holes are .9 mm to far apart on the out side
We apologize for this and the new ones when they get cast up will have the holes moved together .45mm on each side. Its a simple fix and if you put a 9mm drill through instead of the 8.5 we used it fixes it no problem, Some people will not even know this is an issue as it bolts straight up with the holes the way they are, its just a little tight on the threads
I had to open up all holes to get it where it need to be. Top inner holes had to be lowered to move manifold up some.I’ll admit that I was one of the people who had fitment problems, but I’m writing now to ask if anyone else here that bought one lives in or around Grand Rapids, MI?

I have not installed my manifold yet, but i did lay it onto cylinder and can only get 2-3 holes lined up at a time. They will all need to be opended up. I have not looked at port match yet.I had to open up all holes to get it where it need to be. Top inner holes had to be lowered to move manifold up some.
My port floors were different heights also ..meaning while 1 side was acceptable the other was lower creating a good step which also affected the roof. This was all before playing with holes. You can acually see it in manifold side towards motor. Yes you play with it an get it closer. Im not complaining it is what is is.
If youd said something couple weeks back im little south of ya might of been able to meet up.
Put the centre bolts in and then see how it lines up. We are aware that we should have oversized the holes a little and we will next time. It would seem these is more of a variation in the cylinders than what was realised. Other people are bolting them straight up so that’s the confusing partI have not installed my manifold yet, but i did lay it onto cylinder and can only get 2-3 holes lined up at a time.

This is the first header pipe straight out of the mold.
Thanks mate your awesomechecked my b-pipe headpipe and a #53 drill fits through, so about 0.059"
