Victor GS33895 Engine Cylinder Head Dowel Pin - Set 18mm

The Victor GS33895 is an 18mm cylinder head dowel pin set designed as a direct-fit, OEM-grade replacement for the early-style straight dowels used in 6.0L PowerStroke diesel engines. This set ensures precise cylinder head alignment during engine assembly or rebuild, helping to maintain proper sealing loads and prevent head gasket failures.

Key Features:

• 18mm outside diameter straight dowel pins engineered to OEM specifications
• Overall length: 19.50mm per pin
• Includes two (2) dowel pins — sufficient for one complete cylinder head installation
• OEM-grade steel construction finished to stringent quality standards
• Direct replacement for Ford OEM part number 3C3Z-6A008-AA
• Ensures accurate head-to-block alignment for proper gasket seating and uniform sealing pressure
• Compatible with both professional technicians and skilled DIY engine rebuilders

When replacing cylinder heads, it is recommended to always install new dowel pins. Clean the dowel bores thoroughly, verify they are free of burrs, apply light lubrication, and press the pins to the specified depth before head installation. The Victor (MAHLE) GS33895 is also cross-referenced under the MAHLE brand and meets the specifications required for the 2003–2006 6.0L PowerStroke platform.
