don't bother emailing TSP, call them. I've had absolutley zero luck with email, and i've tried several times. Since they're brand new, you shouldn't have a problem getting the issue resolved. As long as they weren't an ebay purchase or anything.

A new set of heads is the least of your worries. Check out the cylinder(s) and make sure nothing got scarred.

that metal looks really really thin.. if that's from the porting.. that really worries me about the intregreity of hogged out heads. This is the first time I've seen that, but 'm willing to bet that there's other people that have had the same thign happen, we just haven't heard about it.

oof... that's not good. I don't think I'd be putting another set of those on the car, if they give you a new set after your troubles, I'dsell them off quick and start looking into something that's a little more aimed for your purposes at this point.
