not sure, do they still fit? obvioulsy there purpose is to make sure the head is ligned up with the block, if they still phisically fit then I would say they are needed. Else the head may not be 100% correctly alligned.
which studs are you using? The ones that thread into the block or all the way through?? When I did mine with the type that just thread into the block I didn't remove the dowels and it all went back together OK
I would say if they dont fit then dont use them if they do then do, and also chack with martoon tomorrow. I suspect your not going to do anything tonight anyway?
no mate, its dummy built, but i need 4 head bolts before i torque it down, so i will check....casnt see how they fit in the puc above though...all the machined holes are the same size...
