RS 500 manifold
Hi,
I need a question answering please
On a rs 500 inlet manifold does anybody know if the inlet runners have got dowels to locate them on the head?
I've got a set of inlet runners for sale on ebay as I don't need/want them and I've been told the std 500 ones have got dowels on them as std.

cheers ryan,
have you seen them with your own eyes? as I've spoken to 2 people with 500 manifolds and they don't have them and the one I have doesn't have them either

I've not seen them either - why would the manifold be doweled to the head if it's not port matched
I've seen aftermarket O-ringed done on std manifolds and I can understand doweling if the heads ported but std?
the std gasket wouldn't fit and I've never seen a 500 inlet gasket marked up differently

Its not for sealing purposes, its done because of the vibrations on a solid mounted engine shaking the manifolds loose , and yes, ive seen loads of dowelled manifolds and the last std RS 500 engine i had in had dowels in the manifold on ports 1 & 4 !

cheers for the info 
I'll edit my advert later - so its a case of some have, some haven't but they should have the holes for the dowels?
strange though I'll have to go and see my friends one to have a lookie if it's got the holes but he's not noticed.
