While they appear to be LS cylinder head dowels, I believe they are either BBC dowels or have been machined incorrectly because they are too loose. A properly fitting LS cylinder head dowel should only require a light tap to secure it in place. Even when I tried to open the gap, they remained loose. I had to look elsewhere because the risk of using this low-cost part was not worth it.
I received these today and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were identical to the GM dowels I was replacing. They were as tight as they should have been, and I had to hammer tap them into the block. br> The old ones may have been loose, but these fit exactly like the GM factory dowels on 3/2/2020.
Make sure you use a flat head screwdriver to expand them. They have a lot of power.
LQ9 iron block is a perfect fit. The old one had a lot of rust on it. I probably could have reused it, but I couldn't stand seeing them next to the gleaming block.
They are a little loose in comparison to the originals, but you could easily open them up a bit more if you wanted to. They were adequate for my needs.
It worked perfectly, but make sure you install them with a mallet.
Shipping was very quick. This is an excellent product.
And not all of them were as accurate as they should have been.
