Ouch... But a good save to catch that. Those dowels locate everything in associating with carrier alignment to the case halves.
Yes, I have specific content about these in the hands on class, and if you follow my guide from the class, you can't leave these out unless you try to! :-)
Do you have the other case alignment dowels in place that index the case halves to each other?

I actually have a note in my "build book" from your online class - make sure you know where the dowels go. Both you and Tony mentioned it so I wrote it down.
f%$k me.
ah well. we're back to 4-5-6 install now.
and yeah, we had the dowels for the cases in.

I hollowed them out to pull the dowels when I originally split the case last year
they are hollowed out 50% of the way and threaded so I could put a bolt in to get a good pull to remove it

Got it. No wonder they have threads inside haha
Bummer you have to split the case but it's just more time and no harm is done. Jake did take the time to remind us about the dowels multiple times during assembly. They are easy to miss.

back to where we were. got cyl 4 5 6 done last night. much more confident the 2nd time around. lol. still did a little prayer to the porsche gods though....
With easter weekend coming, and most parts in now, I am hoping I can get quite a bit done...
It's recommended I use dreibond around the chain boxes portion of the head gaskets, should that be applied to both sides of the gasket?

re: dowels for the heads...I am looking at the pics on auto Atlanta and they aren't quite clear to me on how many and where they go, Ahsai, can you tell me where these things go? I took a look at my old pics too and I can't see anything in them...

They're below cylinders 4 and 6 as shown in the photo. Same on the other bank.
