Thats what i was worried about. The oil control jet visible in the pic is not where its supposed to be on my block. There is something that looks very close to it in the head bolt hole directly above the #3 piston. Also i dont have any dowel pins on my block. Could these things be stuck on my head??? When i removed the head i didnt lift directly off, i sort of pulled it towards me and lifted. Where are the dowel pins. Im sure a D16Z6 has an oil control jet right?
