Our head rebuilders don't tear it apart that far normally. It looks to be just an alignment pin, but again we rarely go that far with the tear down.
FYI, it can be a PITA to get the wobble out of a head when you get those two pieces apart.

Whatever it's for, it looks like it's been smashed down and probably wasn't "alligned" anyway.

I think that brass pin in a plug for plugging up the end of the hole where they drilled for oil passages when the part was made. It's located directly over where a hole connects two oil ports below it.
Edit: I actually think these passages are for grease, not oil.

Good morning guys,Jon's statement has been bothering me ever since I read it.Thats been my problem all my life creating myself problems.When H&W talks I listen,I have been watching their Youtubes and others on how to disassemble/assemble the upper/lower head.Since I have already took this all apart,what can I do putting it all back together to keep the wobble to a minimum?I'm guessing first thing is to leave the clutch housing little loose on the lower head then put the spindle in and rotate the spindle some so that the clutch housing can kinda center itself on the lower head then tighten down the nuts little at a time rotating the spindle.Maybe?Any thoughts?

Call tomorrow and talk to Barry or Nathan. Nathan is the one who told me about the wobble. They can hook you up.

Have you called? If so, please share what you have learned. I've asked questions about floating the head in before and would love to hear what they have suggested. I'm sure I'm not alone on wanting an update...
Thanks,
Ted
