Dowel pins and block decking
If a block is decked 10 thousandths, will the stock dowel pin height become an issue as far as it holding up the head too high?

if your using head studs, then theoretically couldn't you just remove the dowels?

Yeah, that's the second time i've heard of it happening but i've never run into it. I've built about 75 motors and never had the problem, must be rare...

that's what im thinking. theoretically speaking from what vince mentioned about the headgaskets, how LONG would you say it would take for the headgasket to blow with a dowel pin that protrudes too far up? for sake of arguement, pretend the motor is fully built, fully tuned, and boosts say 8-10psi.

I would say it would leak immediately, the gasket wouldn't be crushed. It really depends how much to long they are.
