Why are cylinder head dowels important for Cummins engines?

Cylinder head dowels act as guide pins during installation. They ensure the cylinder head is perfectly aligned with the engine block, which is critical for a proper seal and to prevent damage to the head gasket or block.

What is included in this Fleece Performance cylinder head dowel kit?

This kit includes two cylinder head dowels. This is the standard amount needed for a typical cylinder head installation on your Cummins engine.

Do I need any special tools to install these dowels?

These dowels are designed to fit into the factory locations. While installation is generally straightforward, refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any specific tool requirements or procedures.

About this part

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your Cummins engine, getting the cylinder head seated correctly is crucial. These cylinder head dowels from Fleece Performance are designed to help you do just that. They act as guide pins, ensuring the cylinder head aligns perfectly with the engine block before you bolt it down. This makes the installation process smoother and helps prevent damage to the head gasket or the block itself.

This kit includes two dowels, which is what you'll need for a standard cylinder head installation. They are well-made and designed to fit precisely into the factory dowel locations on your 1994-2023 Dodge or Ram 2500 or 3500 with a Cummins engine. Proper alignment is key to a good seal, especially with the high pressures these engines can generate, and these dowels make that alignment much easier to achieve.
