Default Will stock LQ4 head dowels fit L92 heads?

I've been trying to figure it out, but haven't found much info on it. I have a 03 LQ4 and we're putting L92 heads on it. I just need to know if I can use my stock head dowels or do I need to buy new ones.

I think they still run the factory style short ones. Which is what the Lq4 would have had

I got another question. The L92 heads seem to have a deep recess for the dowels, and my dowels seem too short. Do I just tap them slightly in the block so they can align the heads or do I need to go ahead and get the 15mm ones? I saw on ebay they have auctions for 13mm or 15mm ones.
*EDIT*I just tried one of my dowels in the head and it slips all the way in. So like I said, do I just tap it half in the block and leave it like that or do I buy longer ones?

Shouldn't be an issue.
