TOY: DSM Coolant Neck vs Toyota

["Payne, Mike" <MPayne1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Alright, I got the coolant neck from Ed yesterday and took it to my Garage
(Friends House) and compared it to his DSM coolant neck.  They are damn
close... but not quite on.  The neck itself, I believe is a little longer on
the Toy one, but that is not really a big deal.  The problem comes in with
angle and sealing surface...

The angle on the DSM neck is rotated to the point where it looked to me like
it might hit the valve cover in a Toy motor... the other problem being the
modification to the mounting holes.  The mounting holes on the DSM neck are
just slightly smaller than the Toy one. The surfaces themselves look like a
good match but the brought the mounting holes in on the DSM to where there
are indents in the neck for them...  this will be apparent in the pictures.

Sorry, I do not have pictures with me, but I will put them up tonight or
tomorrow and post a link.

I think it will work... it may just be more fabrication then it is worth. I
have not checked a 2nd Gen DSM yet... those parts may be a closer match.
