description About this item DIRECT FIT REPLACEMENT - Specifically designed for various 6.0 Ford Power Stroke Diesel Engines, this kit is engineered to enhance your vehicle's performance. Ensure perfect compatibility by checking the vehicle compatibilities tab above. ULTRA STRENGTH - Made from XOTIC 7200 material, these head studs offer superior tensile strength of 220,000 psi, far exceeding that of standard 8740 chromoly steel. The threads are rolled after heat treatment to optimize fatigue strength, ensuring ample clamping force that prevents cylinder heads from lifting. EASY INSTALLATION - The kit features broached stud ends for straightforward installation and easier cylinder head removal. An included manual with clear diagrams simplifies the process, while the design of the studs helps retain the cylinder seal under extreme high-pressure turbo conditions, far surpassing the clamping forces of standard Ford head bolts. REDUCED HEAD GASKET FAILURE - Upgrading from factory head bolts to these high-quality head studs significantly lowers the risk of head gasket failures, particularly in high-performance or turbocharged applications. COMPREHENSIVE KIT INCLUDES - The package contains 20 head studs, 20 nuts, 1 socket, and 20 hardened parallel washers, along with fastener assembly lubricant and an instructions manual. A black oxide finish on all parts protects against wear and tear, while the washers ensure uniform load distribution and accurate torque readings for optimal installation. See more product details
