Going into mine today as I have to replace v.p thought this would be as good a time as any..... I've had some strange noises cumm'in from top /front of engine..... I think this is going to be what I'll find. It doesn't do it all the time And no major oil leaks yet/ cracked case. Nate

The killer dowel pin and theese bolts are located under the black timming cover on the front of the engine. The dowel pin actually holds the whole timing case in position but the dowel can come loose and get into the gears and usually takes out the timming cover, this is why its called the killer dowel pin. The bolts are the ones that hold the timming case to the block. They can destroy the case too.
