Description

When you’re rebuilding an engine or replacing a cylinder head, those little dowel pins might seem insignificant—but they’re actually one of the most critical parts for proper alignment. This engine block dowel ensures your cylinder head sits exactly where it should on the block, preventing gasket leaks and keeping compression where it belongs.

What You’re Getting

Precision-machined steel construction that won’t bend or break during assembly
Exact OEM specifications for perfect fit and proper cylinder head alignment
Hardened finish that resists wear and corrosion over the long haul
Direct replacement part—no modifications or special tools required

Built for Real Farm Work

This dowel pin fits the entire Ford New Holland 10 Series lineup, from compact utility models like the 2310 and 2610 up through row-crop workhorses like the 7810 and 8210. These tractors see everything from loader work and mowing to heavy tillage and planting, so engine components need to be spot-on.

Made to Last

Engine dowel pins take a beating during assembly and disassembly, plus they need to handle the constant stress of engine vibration and temperature cycling. This one’s built from hardened steel that maintains its shape and fit through multiple rebuilds.

Good to Know

Always replace dowel pins when doing head work—old ones can get nicked or slightly bent, which throws off alignment. Clean the dowel holes in both the block and head thoroughly before installation, and make sure the new pins seat fully. A light tap with a dead blow hammer usually does the trick.
