Re: dowel pins

[john althaus <althausjbl@xxxxxxx>]

Don, I like the idea on the pipe puller! That should solve the removal problem, I found that Lakewood now has an expandable pins in .500 for fords and .496 for Mopars, so that should help in the fit in the block. I have all of them ordered and should be at my house when I get home this Friday. The stock (straight) Mopar ones aren't long enough to get through the block plate and bell housing.? I will be back under this project this weekend and maybe making some progress, preasure is on, daughters are going to move the mother in law to an apartment and car currently lives with her so I gotta get this mess corrected and find it a home. We may build a small shop at our house for it. Anyway thanks for the help.

Subject: dowel pins





Drill the dowel pin through and tap it . the  theread on a bolt and use that to 
pull it out. Either with a slam type pulller, a large chain (works great!) or by 
placing washers or asmall pipe over the dowel and tightening the bolt which will 
force against the sacers and pull the dwel out. 
just personally oI would chuck the exptic fancy stuff and pop in a set of stock 
dowel pins. I am beeting they would be fine. BTW it is unlikely to have one 
stock and one offset and have it right.

It was very well put when you said i kicked over a can of worms. 
When we complicate simple things that aren comlicated this is the result. I know 
John you did NOT do this, you are only solving it so the flying finger of fickle 
fate goes to whoever did this in the first place. The number of engines whose  
dowel pins are out so much as to cause trouble would be about 2.5 per million 
engines i think (if that.) After 40 years swinging wrenches professionally and 
twenty of that running a shop that specialized in solving the unsolvable i can 
say with a strong loud voice this is just not something you run into much if 
ever. Anyway. I wish you the best and hope this helps remove the dowel pins. I 
owe you i feel for the help you gave me last year
