Frequently asked questions

What is the Dowel Rocker (277956) used for?

The Dowel Rocker is a locating dowel that positions the rocker end bracket precisely on the cylinder head, keeping the rocker shaft assembly aligned in the valve train. It sits between the cylinder head and the rocker bracket. Fitted to 2.25L and 2.5L Series and Defender petrol and diesel engines.

When is the rocker locating dowel fitted or replaced?

The Dowel Rocker is fitted or renewed when the rocker shaft assembly is removed or refitted, for example during top-end work on the cylinder head. It's renewed if the original dowel is damaged or has become a loose fit, so the rocker bracket still locates accurately.

Which engines does the Dowel Rocker fit?

The Dowel Rocker fits the 2.25L petrol and diesel engines in the Land Rover Series 2 and 3, and the 2.25L petrol and 2.5L petrol, naturally aspirated diesel and turbo diesel engines in the Defender up to 2006. It's the rocker shaft bracket dowel for these cylinder heads.
