new eddy intake is junk!

The problems are not always the manifolds. I spend on the right machining, but I've worked on engines that the decking and head surfaces that were "square decked" weren't. There are times when the intake is good, but the base machine work is not.

On the Chinese deal - Mine fit. It just seeped coolant out pores that shouldn't have been there, the holes were not in line with the heads, and the carb stud holes were not tapped properly. But it did fit...
