Cometic 03-06 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke 18mm Cylinder Head Dowel

If you're working on the 6.0L Powerstroke engine in your 2003-2008 Ford E-350 Super Duty, this 18mm cylinder head dowel pin from Cometic is a key component for ensuring your head gasket seals correctly. It's designed to help align the cylinder head precisely onto the engine block, which is crucial for preventing leaks and maintaining proper compression.

This dowel pin is specifically made for the 6.0L Powerstroke, which features an open deck block design. The HP shim technology integrated into the head gasket design, which this dowel supports, increases the clamping force around the combustion chamber. This helps to improve the sealability of the gasket, especially in that critical area. The outer layers of the gasket are coated with Viton, a material known for its resistance to heat and oil, further contributing to a solid seal.

Properly seating the cylinder head with these dowels is a straightforward step that makes a big difference in the longevity of your engine rebuild. Make sure you have the correct size dowel for your specific application.
