Help Finding Cylinder Head Dowel Pins

Got my new heads and am getting ready to get them on. Whoever worked on my engine last clearly did not reinstall one of the cylinder dowel pins. There is just a bunch of crud where the pin should have been in the head.

Now, I can't for the life of me find a suitable replacement set. Help please.

Nevermind. I had a neighbor who was headed to a junkyard look for a set. Luckily the lower engine was exposed and he grabbed one for me. Still don't know of any suitable sets that can be found anywhere. So I'll take measurements with digital calipers and post the info here before I put my new heads in.

Alright,
  • OD is 15.28mm
  • ID is 11.62mm
  • Height is 14.04mm
I don't think ID matters too much. As long as the head bolt can pass through it. Ok, hope that helps someone in the future. And if you do find a set that is suitable for your Ranger, please post here.
