FAST 92 Porting Job Gone Wrong? 
After reading about port matching, I decided to grab my ported FAST 92 and give the runners a closer inspection and found the following.
Exposed gasket on the front drivers side...
Exposed gasket on the rear passenger side..
Since I do not want to take any chances, I have also sent an e-mail requesting a RMA and shipping label to send this one back for a replacement
What do you guys think?This is one of those "if it doesn't look right or feel right, speak up or don't do it!"
Well, I am speaking up and not doing it
Cheers,

IMO if you paid 200 you got what you paid for. If you paid 500 you should make one hell of a fuss. I doubt it will make any difference at all in performance and should not be a leak. ..but you cant expect perfection in hand work if you go cheap. It just takes too much time, skill, and materials to make it perfect.

I did not think I was going with a cheap port job.. I would make one hell of a fuss if the port job cost 200 or 500 bucks: money does not yet grow on trees

Probably an "Oh ****! Lets see if anyone notices" kind of deal. I don't see how the guy that did the work could miss orange gasket material peeking through a black runner. Lets face it, that a $1000 mistake.
Thunder is 100% right. Price means nothing. If you are going to do anything you should take enough pride to do it right. They set the price after all.
In the end it doesn't matter since vengance is making it right. No doubt in my mind there are vendors that would just tell you to run it, and it shouldn't leak.

I just received my ported fast 92 and found the same thing in two of the runners. Is this a major issue or bad port job? I'm gonna contact vengeance to try and get more info.. I hope I don't have to wait even longer to install my setup.

Those two opposite runners have a larger bump/ridge in them, as a result its easier to end-up taking grinding off to much material to smooth it.
I ended up doing the same thing on those two runners, but not quite that much and I didn't damage the rubber seal. All I did was dab some RTV sealant into the two spot I broke through and I've had no issues at all.
