Make your 20v a 20vt...

[Brandon Rogers]

You'll see what needs to be done when you get the parts in front of you.
But here's a heads up--the water manifold has three circular "male" ends
that are actually inserted into the head, press fit, with rubber o-rings to
make sure it seals.  Very tight tolerances.  It's not just a hole in the
water jacket with a gasket b/w the head and water manifold.  One hole off by
a millimeter will keep the water manifold from fitting.

Just a little bit of info.....
