Killer Dowel Pin

In the back of the timing gear case, there is an assembly alignment pin pressed into a hole. The pin is there to align the timing case to the block. Some holes do not fit tightly around the pin and the pin can vibrate out of the hole and fall into the gear train. The pin is then rattled around by the timing gears until it either falls into the oil pan, gets kicked out through the side of the timing case, or passes through gear train bending the camshaft and ruining the gears and case. This pertains to the 94-98.5 engines. There are some reports of this occuring on some of the early ISB engines
