Frequently asked questions

What is the 213700 dowel used for?

The 213700 dowel is a locating dowel for the engine cylinder block and head. It seats in machined bores to align the cylinder head to the block during assembly, keeping the head gasket, coolant and oil passages in correct register before the head bolts are torqued down.

How many cylinder head dowels are typically needed?

Cylinder head dowels are typically fitted in pairs to locate the head on the block, so most engine rebuilds need two. Check your old block and head, since the exact count varies by engine. It's a low-cost item usually replaced if the original is damaged or corroded.

Which Land Rover engines does this dowel fit?

This dowel fits four-cylinder Series II and III and early Defender engines, including the 2.25 petrol and the Defender 2.25 and 2.5 four-cylinder petrol up to 2006. It supersedes the earlier BR0011 reference. Confirm against your engine type before ordering.
