I found the water passage towards the front of the head which
came with my SI to be badly corroded. I also needed the
vibration damper; I had the opportunity to buy a complete
SV engine which had been sitting out in the weather for some
time. As its cylinder head was in much better condition, I
wanted to use it with my 3 main bearing block. The only thing
I had to change was the studs which attach the manifolds.
I purchased step down studs so that I could use the original
manifolds without modification. It seemed to work ok...
