DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
GUIDE PINS
In order to facilitate cylinder head installation,
there are two guide pins in the cylinder block
which match corresponding guide holes in the
cylinder head.

Figure 11 — Cylinder Head Alignment
The pins allow the cylinder head to be lowered
onto the cylinder block a short distance from the
timing gear mounting plate. Screws passed
through the timing gear mounting plate are
tightened to pull the head into alignment with the
block. The head gasket has small bosses
stamped into its upper surface. These permit the
head to slide without damaging the seals. The
bosses flatten when the head is fastened to the
block.
