Default Number of dowels on a B-series block?

Just to make sure, so I don't forget, the number of dowels on a B-series block is 7, right? Thats what it seems to me like according to my Helm's.



Five on the bottom...



And two on the head.

Another thing, does these dowels need to be pressed at the machine shop?

two more between the engine and trans, and they shouldnt have to be pressed in, you should just have to tap them in place softly.

There are no dowels on the bottom of the block.
There are 2 between the block and the head and 2 between the head and the transmission.

The ones on the bottom of the block in the above pic are studs for the oil pan.

You're right about no dowels under the block. They're studs for the oil pan.
Silly me!

The two dowels between the block and the trans., is it 14X20?
