I am in the middle of converting my wasserboxer to a VW 1.8 I4.  I have all
the bits to do it and am about to install the trans with the diesel
bellhousing.  The bell housing has 2 alignment drilled dowels were the
starter bolts pass through to thread into block.  The problem is the block
is not counterbored for these dowels.  Can I grind them flush?  There are
two other dowels in the block that will fit in the trans for alignment.

John
