So, being a rookie, I had no idea about the dowel rings when I pulled my head. I saw two rings attached to a tag in my "spare parts" box when I got it back from the machine shop, but no mention and I thought it was just a paper weight for the tag with my info.
Anyway, I used a hoist to put the head back on, everything aligned on the first shot beautifully and torqued right down, no problem. Now, after reading some threads on here I found out about these little puppies.
My question is, how screwed am I? Will I need to pull the head and replace these things, or just run it without?
