ls vtec help (dowel pin question)
so i started to get my motor together and when i was putting the dowel pins in i noticed that 1 dowel pin was bigger then the other. the bigger 1 fits snuggly in the block but wnt go over the head gasket.The smaller 1 fits in the block loosely and the head gasket DOES fit over it.
its a golden eagle kit that i bought a long time ago.Can i bore out the head gasket hole or do i need new dowel pins? the head gasket is OEM

Re: ls vtec help (dowel pin question)
are you putting them on correctly?
bigger side to the head, smaller side to the block.
If you need to you can bore open a little the gasket.
Have you contacted GE?

You need LS/VTEC dowel pins. KMS used to sell them. You can get them on EBAY
