3B head alignment dowells

[Cody Forbes]

I can't recall whether the 20v engine has pins or not, but I can say that 
even with studs you still need any pins that should be there. The issue is 
more with head gasket alignment then anything else. On my MC engine the 
diameter of the studs was just over 1mm smaller then the diameter of the 
holes in the head gasket, which is enough play to get the gasket off center 
in relation to the bores. The little pins fit snug to the gasket and align 
it properly.
