Can anyone tell me if the 205 pinto 8v has dowels between the head and block?
Took my engine apart ages ago thought I must have lost them but thinking back I'm not a 100% sure they were in the first place.

Thanks in advance for your help
Cheers John

 

I do not think they did, but it has been soo long since I last had one, I may be wrong!

 

def not lad

 

nope

to line head/block up while assembling i use old head bolts with groove cut in to slide gasket and head over then unscrew 4 old ones once 4 new ones are in place

 

+1 i do exactly the same.

 

Thanks for the reply lads!

Thought I was going mad as I'm
So careful when taking things apart!

Oh and cheers for the lining tips
