leaking dowel pin question
I just read a thread in the 1st gen section about fixing the leaking upper dowel pin by drilling a small hole and forcing sealer in with compressed air.....see link below

i was just wondering if the engine design of the 13b and 12a are close enough that this will work for me to.
my leak is for sure from their i can watch it leak out between rear rotor housing and rear iron.?
just a **** of i just bought the car .. its a 87 TII by the way ,
if any one has any other ideas for a fix let me know, it was already covered with jb weld by last owner

Well, that's quite interesting. Not something I'd ever do on one of my cars though.
12As and 13Bs are essentially the same, with the 13B being wider. They use dowel pins in the same location, and the same o-rings.
