-
High Tensile Strength Construction: Material properties are optimized for strength, with tensile ratings tested at over 220,000 PSI, providing robust performance and resistance to stretch or failure.
-
Complete Installation Kit: Includes a full set of 36 premium head studs, hardened washers, nuts, and assembly lube to ensure proper torque and lubrication during assembly.
-
Direct Fit for 7.3L Engines: Designed as a direct replacement for 1994–2003 Ford 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel engines. This kit fits trucks, vans, and Excursions that use the reliable 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel platform.
-
Improved Reliability: Upgraded from weak factory bolts, these studs minimize head lift and help maintain sealing integrity over time—even with repeated heat cycles and heavy duty use.
? Why Upgrade Your Head Studs?
Replacing factory head bolts with a heavy-duty stud kit is one of the most effective ways to increase engine longevity and performance. Studs offer more consistent clamping force, reduce the risk of head gasket failure under load, and make disassembly easier for future maintenance or rebuilds.
