Thats a good question !
But, I don't have an answer.... I think thats a better question for the people in the industry. But, I would "guess" it has to do with the how much shift and what are the implications of the shift.
If it won't seal, then definitely, a recall/refund/exchange policy of some sort would be the appropriate thing to do considering you're risking damaging your motor considering we know coolant and oil make a great milkshake, but a lousy lubricant.
I'm not defending Tony, he's on his own, with all I know the set of cylinder heads in question started life as boat anchors.... he has to solve these types of problems on his own.
But, I will say from the CNC machining point of view, if the cylinder heads had a serious problem, this should have been recognized immediately by the porter.
