Engineered for Ford's legendary 7.3L Power Stroke engines, the Gator Fasteners Heavy Duty Head Stud Kit (HSK73) delivers unmatched reliability for 1994-2003 Super Duty trucks, Excursion SUVs, and E-Series vans.
Unlike factory bolts prone to stretch under high cylinder pressures, these studs use proprietary materials rated at 220,000 PSI tensile strength to handle extreme boost and horsepower upgrades.
Each stud undergoes precision forging and heat treatment before receiving a durable black oxide finish, providing superior corrosion resistance compared to standard fasteners. The included 12-point nuts, hardened washers and Gator Juice assembly lube ensures accurate and proper installation.
Ideal for towing, racing, or daily driving, this kit helps to eliminate head gasket failures in turbocharged and high-compression builds.
Vehicle Compatibility: Fits 1994-2003 Ford 7.3L Power Stroke engines in F-250, F-350, F-450, F-550 Super Duty trucks, Ford Excursion, and Ford Vans (E-Series).
