There is a big difference between a hollow roll pin type dowel that locates
something and a solid metal dowel. I suggest the flywheel dowels are solid
because they are doing more than just locating and where this not the case
they would be hollow roll pin type dowels. On some engines a mod is to drill
the crank and flywheel to take solid dowels between the bolts to reinforce
the flywheel fastening.
Anyone fancy ringing up APT as asking for their tech advice to post to the
list?
