Upgrading the OEM head bolts is a must when adding horsepower and torque to your diesel-powered Ram 2500\/3500.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory head bolts typically can't handle the additional pressure from high-performance applications which can lead to the cylinder head lifting. Upgrading to these XDP head studs helps to keep cylinder head locked down and avoid head gasket failures. Constructed using an 8740 Chromoly Steel with an added proprietary element ensures these studs are more durable and will not stretch like the stock bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe threads are rolled after heat-treating to deliver optimum fatigue strength. These studs are rated at 205,000+ psi yield strength and 225,000+ psi tensile strength to ensure a strong hold under higher combustion pressures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the upgraded strength, replacing the head bolts with studs also allows you to obtain a more precise torque reading. A bolt gets twisted as it is tightened, so it's reacting to two different forces at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a head stud the force gets applied to the vertical axis, resulting in a more even clamping force. Studs can also ensure proper alignment of the cylinder heads every time and provide for easier engine assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the OEM Torque-To-Yield (TTY) bolts which must be replaced after each use, these studs are reusable which makes them a must have for high-performance applications. Kit includes 12-point nuts, washers, and installation instructions.
