The are NOT "alignment dowels". They SEAL against oil sneaking around the bearing cap, and into the flywheel housing.

It's been a LONG time since I've been into an engine like that, so I can't tell you SPECIFICALLY how to install them, but here's some general ideas.

Sometimes seals like that have a steel insert, and you lube them up, and tap them into place once the cap has been installed.

Other seals like that are hollow, and you lube them up, then insert a small punch or rod, which then stretches them as you push on the punch or rod, and pulls them into place.
