Most high-performance engine builders have experienced the time-consuming operation of "dialing in" bellhousings using troublesome offset dowels. Use of the Dowel-Tru will quickly and easily correct bellhousing dowel hole locations by placing them in the proper relationship to the crankshaft centerline.
The Dowel-Tru plate installs onto the engine block using the 2" Precision Support Bar (shown installed above) and Main Bearing Bore Adapter Rings, sold separately.
Once installed, the fixture plate is adjusted into place using a pair of jackscrews and then bolted to the block. The dowel hole locations are remachined with a special-size reamer, included in the kit, which is guided by drill bushings in the fixture plate. After machining, special stepped dowels are driven into place.
The Dowel-Tru is available to fit most popular GM, Ford and Mopar blocks and includes an application-specific plate, six stepped dowels and one special reamer.
Additional Stepped Dowels are available in six packs. We offer standard length and special extra long length for use with a motor plate.
