This is actually a common problem! The first MPIs didnt have enough
material around the fuel injector boss, so they reworked the casting. so
there is more than enough material there, but that one piece at the end is
still to thin, but it wont effect performance at all. It doesnt effect the
sealing either cause it seals alot higher. Ive had mine on there since
december with no problems to date.
