Genuine Nissan Cylinder Head Dowel TB42 - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ & Y61 GU

Genuine Nissan Cylinder Head Dowel - Nissan Patrol Y60 GQ TB42s & TB42E

This cylinder head dowel is located in the engine block deck and is used to precisely align the cylinder head during installation. When you're doing a head gasket replacement or a full engine rebuild, these dowels are often damaged, corroded, or lost. Attempting to install a cylinder head without these dowels, or with damaged ones, is a serious mistake.

Incorrect alignment prevents the head gasket from sealing correctly, which will quickly lead to oil and coolant leaks, overheating, and ultimately, complete head gasket failure. It's a small part that prevents a very big and expensive problem.
