No - The FELPro gaskets I have been using are mislabeled as they say the EBU is a 55 and the EBV is a 54 - and that one size fits all. Of course those will not fit the 54 EBU, but those do fit correctly for the 55 EBV. The engine is a 55 EBV that I've put in my 54 that originally had a EBU that I still have. For gaskets this next time I have Victor brand gaskets for the 55 EBV.

When you gave me the measurement of the dowel, is that height from the deck?

Sounds good Charlie. I have never installed new dowels - how are they installed?

Pretty sure they just drop in. It's been a while. I don't remember having to do anything special to remove old ones or install new ones.

That was the total height of the dowel.
