Default Anyone ever had a problem with enlarging the dowels to 9/16" instead of 14mm?

I had the dowels on my B16 head moved to use on my CRV block, but the shop (or any shop I called) did not have a 14mm mill drill bit, the closest they have is 9/16" which is 14.2875mm.
I just picked the head up from the shop and the dowels move around a bit in the holes, but not really too bad.
Alot of local people who have done this said they havnt had any problems.

Similar experiances on here?
