Cyl head gasket locating pins

Featured Replies

Trying to re- assemble an engine someone else took apart- so please excuse all the questions,

 

The face of the block, where the heads mate has 4 holes just about at each corner.

 

I found on one side of the block, there are two hollow pins or sleeves that look like they would be used to locate the head gasket on the block. On the other side there is only one.

 

How many are supposed to be on each side, and how are they inserted and held in?

 

Can't really see them in the manual.

they are probably a slight press fit. and can be removed by wiggling them. that is how slight of a press fit they probably are.

they just fit in. The one could have pulled out with the head. It could have fallen on the floor. Or it was missing already.

What he said^.

 

Regardless f what happened to the old one, you need a new one. The sleeves align the head to the block and need to be there.
