Does anyone know off the top of there head  how many engine/cyl head dowels I need for my 750k5, going back together with it and I seem  to have lost/misplaced the baggie that had them.Can't find a parts brake down that lists  the number required for the entire engine...Thanks

There are 2 head/barrels (12mmx22mm )and 2 barrels/cases (12mmx15mm ). There are a bunch on the covers as well (8mmx14mm ) .

Yeah, I've never seen a list having them all, in one place. They are often paired and of different sizes. Best to look them up as needed, maybe make your own list.

If you need some of these small head and block parts for the 750 let me know I have some.

The list provided came from a k5 parts fiche . If you start mixing parts from other years The dowel lengths can change (different lengths for different years ). The ones listed should work for a K5 .
