Re: 1997 GSX - DD, RR, and 11's.

So the "new" hx40 bep housing showed up from extremepsi.com

And im not impressed. The two gaskets I ordered with it were bent to shit as they were just tossed in a zip lock bag and put in the box with the housing. I did what I could to try to flatten them out.

And then moved onto the housing and the casting looks like crap.
There are 3 holes in the housing where they drilled to far and went all the way through to the inside of the housing.

Where they flattened out the parts you bolt the housing to the manifold and o2 housing they didnt fill the metal off the edges so there's sharp crap everywhere. Even on the inside.

Looks like someone used a Drexel tool to try to clear some of it and it got away from them and skipped the bit across the side of it.

Posting picts, tell me what you think. Anyone with experience with these housing please let me know of this is normal and I nees to do the clean up myself or should I just return it amd ask for an exchange.
