just got a live fast kit the other day took it to work last night to show it off and found that there was a hole in the side that goes into the head bolt void should i worry about it or not. look's like a casting flaw.

looks to appear it may be a casting flaw! maybe some j b weld would help, im sure others will post!

Thats the 2nd bad casting Ive seen this month. I would check with the vendor to see if it could be returned......

Don't hesitate - get a replacement. That just ain't right. Even if it doesn't connect internally.....

just talked to them he said that is not a problem and should be ok. posted this on another forum and they think it will be fine also as it dosnt go into any thing major just the bolt hole.

Thats your choice. Naturally the vendor is going to say it isnt a problem, and it might not be, but if it is in a few months, will he stand behind it? If it was me I would ant what I paid for from the beginning...

Mine is even worse than that and it runs great. I can see 2 inches of onte of the head studs through the hole in mine. It's just a flaw in the exterior of the casting.

Darn guess I will have to take a look at mine. I never paid any attention as long as it runs. I know it is loud, smelly, and vibrates like the bed in a cheap motel but thats part of the charm... isn't it???
