LS Vtec Enlarged Dowels
LS/VTEC Head Swap - Still The One
The dowels that orient the head correctly on the block are on opposite sides of both components. On the deck, the two pins are located along the exhaust side, while the dowels in the B16 top end are found along the intake edge. The fix is to enlarge the dowel holes on the head and relocate the dowels. Castro uses a 9/16-inch bit to open up the holes in the head and recommends anyone attempting this to do it on a drill press. If the hole is drilled at a slight angle, the head will become difficult to seat. View Related Article
