Also when you guys store these off the car, it doesn’t look like a good idea to leave the parimeter bolts tight. Like most mention, it opens the corners with a gap, giving it a real wavey shape, until you install on the engine. then they close up and it flattens out.
It makes sense to keep the perimeter bolts loose like delivered until you’re about to install. If you leave it in that state for too long, Itll warped.
Crazy they don’t mention that in the instructions
This is why I hate the plastic POS on our cars. Why can't someone make an alumium IM? Then you don't need locktite or the wimmpy rubber gaskets.
