Alright i am using a stock honda headgasket for my ls/vtec build. The bottem end is an A1 and the head is a b16 head now whats needs to be done for the dowels to fit through the head gasket? I have to old gaskets laying around so i can use one of these to clay the motor so if someone could let me know asap trying to build the motor in an hour or so and also do the dowels go on the intake or exhaust side of the block i was told exhaust so this is why i have to modify the headgasket thanks guys

 

well are you using golden eagle style ls/vtec dowels or was there machine work done to fit the stock dowels?

 

With GE dowels, they go exhaust side one stud inboard from the edges.

I am unsure of the one that need to be machined because all I have ever used is GE.

There is also no modifying the HG with golden eagles either.
