Default dowel pins for ls/vtec. how does it work?

like the title says. i know it comes with 2 pins but how exactly do they work? i mean don't you have to cap the origial hole where the oil goes through and tap another one?

The dowel pins go where the head studs are. Neither the ones on the LS block or the vtec head will work. You can either have the holes opened up a little to give room for the pins, leave them off and risk having an oil leak, or get dowel pins that fit both the head and the block. I did #3. I used a lathe and made some pins out of aluminum for me and some friends.

they dont weld anything. i just had them bore the two rear(i think) dowel pin holes ou to 14mm and i just used those two. here:

they did a lsvtec and a crvtec buildup which is the same thing. goto their how-to section to see it. it will help alot. they cover everything.
