I'd bet a dollar to a donut you have head gasket problems. The head moves around on the block even WITH the dowels as it heats and expands. intake gaskets will be next.
Your machinist should have put the dowels back in the block!!!

This is a problem. Regardless of what you find elsewhere, pull your heads and install the dowels before you do anything else. Running it any longer without the dowels is just asking for failure. I am shocked that more people in this thread do not realize the importance of those and have you chasing things like PCV and trans vacuum modulators.
