dumb Golden Eagle lsvtec dowel pin question
does the thinner part go into the head or block?
i dont have them in front of me but it seems like they can go in either spot depending on what side is up and down.
my reasoning for a dumb question: if u put the dowels in the back of the head u put the skinny part in the head and the fat part in the block. if u put them in the front u put the fat part in the head and skinny in the block. it seems like both will work to me

Re: (dat_flip)
i just did this swap last week. U doing a LSVTEC?
Smaller side goes into block EXHUAST side. LArger part goes into head. then u must drill out the 2 dowel holes on the exhuast side of the gasket 9/16 to fit the dowel pin
ur done

Re: (99B16Si)
i used a ge headgasket and did not have to drill any thing, i put my dowels in the exhaust side of the head for some reason they wouldnt work on the other side for me, i dont know if it had any thing to do with useing head studs or not, but it shouldnt matter where you put them aslong as they are there mine work fine in the exhaust side

Re: (B18C1CYA)
im doing the build right now on mine.. would anyone have any pic. of them installed? do they go were the stock dowel pins were? and i never heard of anyone having to drill the headgasket to make them fit. i know you only have to drill when you use stock pins but not the ge or full race. i have full-race dowel pins

Re: (99lsvtecauto)
damnit, whatever i tried to help.
THROW away your damn stock doweles ok.
Take the GE dowels, place the small end on the EXHUAST SIDE OF THE BLOOOOCK! the drill the OEM headgasket dowel holes to 9/16 inch on the corresponding EX dowel matching hole locations. The larger end of the dowel goes into vtec head.
