The worst thing about it is that I knew it. I should have just finished it the first night, it would have never happened. When your pressed for time, sometime you do stupid things. Oh well, its just another $400.00 ):

I bet it didnt seal the intake port. Your probably fine. You guys didnt notice that it doesnt sit flat with the old valley bolts?

For those folks who may not have easy access to a grinder... There has got to be a cheaper place to get those bolts. $27...That's crazy! They might be available at some sort of specialty shop if not at Home Depot. I just got a used manifold but am still overseas so I can't exactly just go out and look, anyone find any lately?

WOW lol, sad to say add another to the list.

I read directions usually, but I guess I only wanted to know the torque value of the main bolts lol.

Guess I'll pull it off and check since my car is down anyways!

Hope I still have that hardware!

Does this issue also apply when installing the FAST 90 on a LS2 C6 Corvette? I am in the process of having mine ported, and would like to know before re-installing. I purchased the MAP relocation kit, C6 firewall kit, and LS2 fuel rail adapter kit, because the FAST 90 was not made to be a direct bolt-on for my car.

27$ isn't that bad actually. I bought 10 bolts from lowes for 30 something $ when i lost all my tranny bolts.. Metric bolts are not cheap.

Pay up.
