Engineered to solve chronic head gasket failures in Ford's 6.0L Power Stroke, the Gator Fasteners HD220 Head Stud Kit (HSK60) replaces weak factory bolts with high-strength HD220 alloy.
This proprietary material delivers 220,000 PSI tensile strength - surpassing standard 8740 chromoly - to handle extreme cylinder pressures from upgraded turbos and tuning modules.
Each stud features precision-rolled threads after heat treatment, preserving grain structure for maximum fatigue resistance. The black oxide finish provides corrosion protection in harsh environments, while included 12-point chromoly nuts ensure accurate torque application.
The kit includes Gator Juice assembly lube to guarantee proper clamp load development during installation.
Vehicle Compatibility: Fits 2003.5-2007 Ford F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty trucks, 2003.5-2005 Ford Excursion, and 2003.5-2010 Ford E-Series vans.
Follow included torque sequences for optimal results.

| About |
