My 2.0L parts showed up today in the mail with some damage on them. I'm most concerned about the bottom of cyl #4 which has a chip missing from the bottom of the collar that slides into the case.
There are numerous cooling fins missing from cyl 3 and 4 but I'm not as concerned about those fins missing. But cyl 4 does have a significant number of them missing. Any thoughts?

It was fedex.. BTW, shipping international fedex ground is a pain.. you have to sign up for an account, and print labels online in order to drop it at a fedex store.
I had thought that only UPS requires packaging that could pass the drop kick test, but I guess I was wrong. Who the heck drops a 42 pound package? It would have taken reams of bubblewrep and foam to protect it from that.. perhaps I should have sent each cylinder in a separate box. |
