    Should be the correct one, might not even need to ream one of the holes.

      Also no need for a gasket. Just use RTV and you'll be fine.

        When I put mine on it was plug and play. No alterations. +1 on the RTV, just make sure the socket head cap screws are not too long and you should be golden.

              Not used the Vmax one but typically, it will only fit one way. If you put it in upside down, the bolt hoels will not line up.

              When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.
