head pin, please help :(

[devilfish]

This is for my 1991 corvette with alu heads.

On my block there whas 4 pins ,2 on each side of the block ( one at the front and on at the rear on each side). That is used to hold the head gasget in place, and to guide the heads during installation.
Now, I lost 2 of this pins so I hade only one pin on each side when I installed my gasget and heads.
Could this be a probleme? Im little worried about alignment now after I have installed them.
I whas very carful with the alignment when I isntalled them, but annyway?

please tell me im not have to tear it apart again

thanks..

No worries mate, it should not pose a problem at all. They are only used for holding the gasket when installing the heads; as long as you have the gasket correctly held in place and all of your bolts are started in their respective holes, then you should be alright. :cool

By the way, it would only have cost you a couple of bucks (kronas? euros?) at a machine shop to acquire some more pins.
