Too funny, that was my first thought, but they were torqued to 7 as spec'd

We took one of the plenums off the car and placed it on a piece of glass. We were able to rock it back and forth noticabally, as well as fit feeler shims in the gaps when leaning on the plenum from the top.

That was probably the deciding factor for Rob to take them back and have them properly re-decked.

We received the fixed units and performed the same test on the glass. No movement whatsoever. The other ones were definately out quite a bit.
