Yeh they were head to block

If its for an rb26 the correct torque is 125ft lbs in three equal steps with ARP moly lube

Drivers side= 38342-03V00 Passenger side= 38342-03V10 Drive Pinion= 38189-03V00

They are 40 bux new from Nissan, they do an overnight delivery! Part number= 11150-05U02 ,guide-oil level gauge

Yeh they are the head to block ones, my gearbox to block has a solid type that's still in the block

The head is sitting square and in the right position I removed a couple of head studs to check, but I won't take the risk of it shifting under heavy load its been 4 years since i drove my gtr and god i miss it, ive just been down to gm Motorsport in melton and bought my self a 1.69oz tube of arp assembly lube enough to build the motor 20 times! So off to the workshop for another tear down Cheers cam

Damn to answer my own question both are recessed there goes the easy way out

Or is the recess for the dowel only in the block? Or is both head and block recessed? If only the block is recessed for the dowel maybe I could place the dowel in through the head holes?

I'm pretty sure they are the head to block locaters, I guess I'm tearing my motor down, unless you guys think the arp head stud kit is a good enough locater

Yeah true better safe than sorry,I wouldn't be happy unless I knew where they went any how keep me awake at night haha, thanks for all your input guys appreciate it! Cheers cam

The motor is still on the engine stand, I prob used the stud kit as alignment and not thought twice, the r33 engine manual has no mention of there being locating dowels which is why I may have over looked it, guess what I'm doing this weekend then god damn it!!, unless you guys think the arp stud kit would line the head up enough?or best not to risk it?

Haha yeh that's a red bull can ring, the dowels are 10mm long as well if that helps

Good question BSA you have got me worried honestly I can't remember,i put the head on a good year or so ago using a arp stud kit

They are 14mm o/d

Head is all ready on the block guys the motor is more or less finished apart from cam gear front cover and ati balancer, should I be pulling the motor apart?
