Ok to keep a long story short, it looks like the dowel pins on the driver side deck are slightly longer than the ones on the passenger side. The cylinder head dowle hole depth is .303" at its shallowest. The dowel pin height on the driver side is .297" (no head gasket). I'm using a .027" Cometic. So do I need to cut dowels down or will the gasket give me enough clearance?
