New EQ Head port misalignment?

If i scribe the line you mention, from deck surface to line is about 1.100", the floor of the port is about 0.675" from the deck surface, and the ceiling of the port to deck is about 2.700" (im assuming you meant 2.530" in your post).
Oops.
Yup, 2.530”
Sounds like the ports being way off is the bigger problem.

Heads like that shouldn’t require jumping thru hoops to be able to use.
