I use 12.9 tensile capscrews on my engine. The bolts/capscrews hold the flywheel on. The dowels only hold the flywheel in the one spot.
This problem is well documented for the A series motors.

Hands up all those who have had an A series flywheel come off. I'm one. General road use not a biggy but start puting some power out and using the said power, this is what you end up with often.
