Eddy RPM heads: Should I be concerned about this casting defect?
We can al laugh but as others have said - it happens all the time so you have to be careful with anything. I've seen issues with all brands and types of parts. ARP - a great product but also famous for omitting bits from their packages. I've found cam bearingsin perfect boxes that were squished out of ound. Missing parts, shipping-damaged parts, missing gaskets from kits, mis-boxed an mis-labeled stuff... When I managed a parts store it was constant. So bad that we had to ge good enough with visuals of the various parts to check before they left that they were at least the right part in the box. Or that you had primary and secondary shoes in a box, or 16 pushrods in the box. That was back in the 80s and 90s. It happens to everyone, it has been happening for as long as their have been replacement parts, and it happens a lot. How do you think all those NOS parts in opened boxes got to be? I worked at a dealership... the factory pipelines are no better...lol.
