Notes
Always use new dowelpins when re-installing or replacing cylinder heads on PowerStroke 6.0L. Old pins may distort or cause improper gasket compression. Lightly lubricate the outer diameter for installation, set to correct head bolt torque sequence, and inspect for wear before reuse.
FAQ
Will these dowel pins work with my 6.0L PowerStroke head gasket?
Yes—GS33895 matches the early-style 18 mm dowel configuration (Ford part # 3C3Z-6A008-AA) used on 2003–2006 6.0L PowerStroke heads.
How many pins come in the package?
The set includes two (2) straight 18 mm dowel pins—enough for one cylinder head installation.
Does this part require special installation procedure?
No special proprietary procedure—just clean the dowel bores, verify they’re free of burrs, lightly lubricate and press the new pins to the specified depth before head installation.
