Default Dowel Questoin

I took my head to the machine shop today and he pulled out the dowels, do I need to put them back in or am I fine without them?

Probably a good idea to have them in there.

Definitely put them back in. The dowels are datum points that align parts to the correct tolerances. It cost money to have them machined that way, so I am sure there is a reason.....good luck

Well where can I buy new one's? The dowels that were on there are pretty chewed up from w/e.... Don't the studs align the block and head?

Let me guess, another thing to delay me from getting my car done???
