They warp like wet boards.

John Robinson, Treasurer of the UK Club, had _two_ Dialynx manifolds
warp on him, both times pulling the studs out of the block.  I believe
he is taking legal action, but you'll have to check with him.

My own Dialynx manifold warped like a wet board and pulled out four
studs.  Even now, I'm not sure it's not moving.

Jim Wallace (Club member, northeast of England) had the same problem.

Someone in the Area L meeting (whose name I didn't catch) last Thursday
has the same problem.

The only happy owners seem to be those that don't drive their cars much.
