That's worrying.... Have you dropped David an email at RPW? He's pretty damn helpful.

Thats exactly what it is.
You are trying to put a Mivec set onto a non mivec or vice versa. You need to specify that when ordering them. They can be modified to fit easily enough thou, I've had to do it before.

Thats what i thought, just one type and they had to be slightly modified for GR at the flexi joint flange cause the holes where slightly off.
also the exhaust opening from the engine is miss align with the extractor too.
Thats extremely worring depending on how mis aligned they could definilty effect the performance
