scavenging his quotes from above, he said:

Then:
Seems to be warped as when I tried to use the alignment cups, everything was out of whack except the rear two connections...and it shooting smoke out of 4/6 ports.
and:
I ordered the rings and reinstalled...Also my initial assumption was a crack and after reconnection and an attempt at realignment, I found that the vehicle would hold idle and there was a warping issue
