Hey fellas I am puttin my motor together today and was about to put the head on and noticed I am missing the alignment dowels between the cylinder and head. Anyone have a couple they'd come off of? I've scoured my plethera of parts and cant find any. Let me know if you do. If not I'll get on parts-direct and order some but didnt wanna wait that long to get the motor buttoned up. Thanks fellas.

I know it may be a worse case thought... but they did not happen to fall in the bottom end did they???? it's just a thought..
You may just wanna order them.. get new ones... that way you get the right ones and without damage...

Nah I just lost em in the rebuild over the last 8 months. Guess I will order some just in case. I always keep the bottom end covered so hopefully theres nothing in there.

I stole 2 of them out of a 372ex we have apart so I got the motor back together. Check out my thread labeled "01 Red and Black Build"
