are the locating dowels supposed to be in the head or the block?

the block, dont feel bad if you broke one off, its common

well, the reason i ask is the gt40's i just picked up have the dowels in the heads. ill just have the machine shop remove them then. hopefully when i remove my e7s, they will stay in the block. thanks aod

Dang... just use a small punch and a small hammer they pop right out......shoot when I took my heads off last night one or two was stuck in the head.......but it came right out....there is a built in ridge in the heads so they can only go so far up so it really doesn't matter either way

vise grips should do the trick

try not to scratch the surface of the head or block, take your time.
