Frequently asked questions

What is the LCL100020L cylinder head dowel for?
The LCL100020L is a plastic cylinder head locating dowel fitted at the joint between the cylinder block and cylinder head. It aligns the head gasket and cylinder head accurately during assembly. It's a Genuine Land Rover part for Td5 diesel and Freelander 1 diesel engines.
How many cylinder head dowels are needed?
Two locating dowels are typically used per cylinder head on these engines, one at each end of the block-to-head joint. They're usually replaced together when the head is removed for a gasket job.
Is there a stronger alternative to the plastic dowel?
Yes. The steel dowel YLL500040 is a more durable alternative to this plastic version and is often preferred on the Td5 engine. Many builders fit two steel dowels in place of the plastic part when rebuilding the cylinder head.
Which engines does this dowel fit?
This dowel fits the Td5 2.5L diesel in the Defender (1987-2006) and Discovery 2 (from VIN 1A736339), plus the 2.0L diesel in the Freelander 1 (1996-2006). Confirm your engine, as it locates the block-to-head joint on these diesels.
