Ford Powerstroke 6.0L — Gator Head Studs (2003.5–2010)
Safeguard your 6.0L Power Stroke engine from chronic head gasket failures. The Gator HD220 Heavy Duty Head Stud Kit is engineered to replace weak factory head bolts with high-strength studs that maintain a secure cylinder head seal under increased boost and aggressive tuning.
Key Features:
- HD220 Alloy — 220,000 PSI Tensile Strength: Manufactured from Gator’s proprietary HD220 alloy, providing industry-leading clamping force that surpasses standard 8740 chromoly to withstand extreme cylinder pressures.
- Precision-Rolled Threads: Threads are rolled after heat treatment to preserve grain structure, delivering maximum fatigue resistance and long-term durability.
- Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Each stud features a black oxide finish to protect against rust and corrosion in harsh operating conditions.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes heavy-duty 12-point chromoly nuts, hardened washers, Gator Juice assembly lubricant, and detailed torque sequences to ensure accurate clamp load and reliable installation.
Why Upgrade Factory Head Bolts?
OEM head bolts can stretch under high boost, resulting in blown head gaskets, compression loss, and costly repairs. The Gator HD220 Head Stud Kit provides the increased clamping force needed to keep your cylinder heads sealed securely, whether you are towing, daily driving, or running high-performance modifications.
