Exclamation engine
now about to bolt the head back down and realised i have missplaced the 2 guides that fit in the block and am curious to know if they are required or just to hold the head in place to bolt the head down

Might seem a silly question but why are they needed?

Accurate location of gasket on block, gasket/head on block. Your engine will probably run but your HG will fail quickly, with out them it is possible to get the head on squiff (if thats even a word).
