Is there a standard procedure for checking the head to block alignment during rebuild?
I mocked up my heads / block /intake and noticed the intake bolt holes are off a bit pass to drivers side. One head seems further forward than the other or the intake was machined wrong. That got me thinking about the head to block positioning.... Could the dowels and or dowel holes in the head be off?
My cumbustion chambers are a bit bigger than the bore so I will need to notch the bores. But I want to make sure everything is aligned properly first. Not to mention port matching the intake.
