Description: This heavy - duty head stud kit (HSK60) is a game - changer for your 2003 - 2010 Ford vehicles. It fits a wide range of models including F - 250 and F - 350 Super Duty with various trims like Lariat, XL, XLT, King Ranch, Harley - Davidson Edition, FX4, and Cabela's. It also fits 2003 - 2010 E - Series Vans with the 6.0L Powerstroke. Weak head bolts are a common issue in the diesel world, but upgrading to these studs is essential. Studs offer higher clamping capacity and superior strength, with a tensile strength of over 220,000psi and a max load of over 120 KN. They won't stretch like factory bolts, prevent head gasket damage, and can handle high stress. Plus, they have more thread engagement as they're longer than head bolts. Instead of threading through the cylinder head like bolts, they thread into the engine block, and nuts apply the clamping force. Part Number: HSK60. Click here for installation instructions.
