Wish you had called or emailed me with all your issues - the install guide talks about Scotch briting the injector holes on the manifold to allow the injectors to slip in - that and grease or vaseline. Yes, they are tight as there is a lip inside the hole that makes it difficult to get them in past but I dissagree with the shop's assertion that they are too small. A little emery cloth (or a dremel if they are careful) will allow them to slide right in.
I've installed many of the kits from different casting batches and they ALL have been tight but all worked without cutting an oring. I just finished a kit install in Hawaii in 6 hrs and they were tight but I was able to get the stock, used, bloated orings in with Scotchbrite, a little vaseline and patience. The one I just installed was made at the same time as yours and shipped the same day. If the shop needs to talk with me about it, please give me the number and I'll be happy to assist them - it really is a simple matter to resolve.
I'm not sure Alpine should have to cover what any decent shop should be able to resolve using a little brain power. And why post this and your other issues instead of trying to work it out directly with Alpine or myself FIRST? I answer my phone 24/7 even when on vacation and answer emails almost daily while out but have not heard anything directly from you.
