I am working on a friends 93. The short block was replaced a while back and then the Jeep was sold to my friend. He is getting oil in the water and figured it was a bad head. So he got a new head and all the gaskets, hoses, etc and brought it to me to do the work. I removed the old head and was surprised not to see any dowel pins to line the head up and keep the gasket from moving.
Is this normal? Or, did someone leave out the dowel pins from the new block and just bolt the old head on it?
If I need dowel pins I want to get them before putting the new head on so this problem does not come back again.
Also, could not putting sealant around the #11 bolt cause oil in the water?
And is it required to replace the head bolts? I know some engines you do and some you don't, is this one you do?
Thanks
