do you need the dowels when replacing the head gasket on a B16? i just rebuilt my motor and i pulled the dowels out to shave my head and deck my block and neglected to put them back in. now oil is going EVERY where. from what looks like the head gasket. like i said probably a dumb question.

 

yeah you need em

 

buy yourself some new dowel pins and a headgasket..

 

i still have the old ones do you think i need to change them ?
