Don't waste your time and money on cheap parts!

Don't waste your time with cheap parts made in China. Aside from being poorly finished, the metal looks like the cheapest material they can make it out of. The manifold does not include a gasket or nuts and bolts, although the picture shows they are. The box arrived intact and NOT damaged, so it is unlikely that anything fell out in the process. Many reviewers said that "they just had to change it and it worked great." In my view, time is money, and spending time changing something that should have been done right is the few bucks im Have been saved ahead, not worth it. After carefully examining, measuring and comparing the new manifold to the OEM manifold. I realized it was far from the original. At first I thought I probably have a defective one, so I ran to the local auto parts store and bought the exact same one. After trying to install a second header from the same company, I ended up in exactly the same situation. As you can see from the photos I provided, the distributor is so bulky that it rests on the block below. Another problem is that the pins rub against the manifold as they pass through the holes, which can cause the pins to break as they heat up and vibrate. Needless to say, I sent this cheap part back and got my money back. Spend a few bucks more for a well-made part and save yourself a headache.
