I've searched and searched and cannot find a part number for the head stud guides. I've combed through the part number sticky and just can't seem to find it. I've also looked through the FSM and EPC and don't see anything listed, although it says to reinstall the head gasket over them. They are also not included in any rebuild kit or listed anywhere I can find. I've emailed Beno, but i know he's super busy, so I'm reaching out to the other diesel minds/experts here.

Attached is a picture of them and their location circled in red. Mine were taken out at the machine shop during rebuild and long story short, I don't want to put the head back on without them due to the amount of movement that is possible without them. If anyone knows of a part number or could provide accurate physical dimensions and a picture, I would sure appreciate it.

Side note, this picture isn't my block, but depicts the location better than the picture I currently have.

Cheers.

Not sure if they are the same, but here are the details of the guides (Pin, Ring 90253-15005) from my 13B-T. Got mine from @beno along with a collection of other necessary bits to change the head gasket.

The new pins are in the truck, but here are the old ones

No metric calipers on hand and all measurements were taken before drinking enough coffee, so hopefully the measurements below will at least be directionally correct/useful.

Thanks for the reply. After seeing the measurements, they actually appear to be different. I'm guessing it's because of the head, but mine were substantially taller. I appreciate the help though.

Update: Heard back from Beno. Says the part numbers are the same. Just FYI. 90253-15005
