what are dowel pins for?

I am reading up on b20vtec's and it requires relocating the dowel pins, could someone explain to me what they are... sorry for being ignorant.

Does it require a machine shop or could you just take a drill and do it (carefully)?

FFgeoff sells machined dowels for LS/VTEC-B20/VTEC setups. They are $40

Thats what I plan on getting.

They are larger on one end so they fit in both the block and head
