The way I see it, the guy was missing ONE dowel pin and wanted to know if he can put his head on without it. I say yes, and I still say yes.
Im not saying its the best way, and I never did, but you can do it and your car will run without problems. When all 10 head bolts are centered and torqued, and all are going through the gasket where they should be, and you are careful that everything is lined up correctly, and you have ONE dowel pin, as he said he did, I say he can do it. Am im right. He can do it.
