Description
The Cummins engine, whether it's 5.9 or 6.7, is a favorite among diesel fans. But when you aim for more power, head bolts can be a real headache. Under high stress, either on a stock or heavily - modified engine, these bolts may stretch and cause gasket failures. That's where our head stud kit comes in!
Our studs offer a higher clamping capacity, which means they're stronger and can handle more stress. Unlike factory bolts, they won't stretch or twist when tightened. If you're looking for performance upgrades, these studs are a must - have.

Features
- Higher strength and won't stretch like factory bolts
- Prevents head gasket damage
- Withstands high - stress
- Longer than head bolts for more thread engagement
- Thread into the engine block, install the head over the studs, and use nuts to apply clamping force (unlike bolts that are threaded through the cylinder head into the block)
Hey there! Here's how to use and take care of your Cummins head stud kit. First, for installation, start by threading the studs into the engine block. Make sure they're tightened properly. Then, place the cylinder head over the studs and use the provided nuts to apply the clamping force. It's a bit different from using head bolts, but it's worth it for the extra strength.
Now, for the important stuff. When you're tightening the nuts, don't go overboard. You want to apply enough force to create a good seal, but too much can cause problems. Also, check the torque specs recommended for your specific engine model.
As for maintenance, keep an eye on the studs over time. Look for any signs of wear or loosening. If you notice anything off, it's a good idea to get them checked out. And that's about it! With these steps, your head stud kit should keep your engine running smoothly for a long time.
