I am installing new Twisted wedge 170cc heads. I cleaned up the block deck very well and pulled out the dowel pins and took them to a wire wheel on a bench grinder to clean them up. They came out very nice. I took a socket of the same size and tapped them back into the block. So I sat my aluminum head on the block and noticed that head moves back and forth towards the lifter valley approximately 1/16". Is this going to cause any problems? Should I just replace them or just bolt them on and run it? I think what concerns me is gaskets sealing and clearances. Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

dowels don't hold the head from moving. They are there to keep the head and gasket in proper alignment. You'll be fine when you bolt the heads down.
