Purchase the XDP X220 Series Head Stud Kit XD3014HS for your 1989-1998 Dodge 5.9L Diesel 12-Valve engine. Upgrading the OEM head bolts is a must when adding horsepower and torque to your diesel-powered Dodge Ram. The OEM bolts typically can't handle the additional pressure from high-performance applications which can lead to the cylinder head lifting.Upgrading to studs helps keep your cylinder head locked down and avoid head gasket failures. This XDP head stud kit is constructed from high-quality 8740 Chromoly Steel construction that also includes a proprietary element added for upgraded strength and durability.The threads are rolled after heat-treating to deliver optimum fatigue strength. These studs are rated at 225K-233K psi tensile strength and 205K-215K yield strength to ensure a strong hold under higher combustion pressures.Upgrading from head bolts to studs also allows you to obtain a much more accurate torque reading. A conventional bolt gets twisted as it is tightened, so it's reacting to two different forces at the same time. With a stud the force gets applied to the vertical axis, resulting in a more even clamping force.Furthermore, they provide for easier engine assembly and proper alignment of the cylinder heads every time. Unlike OEM Torque-To-Yield (TTY) bolts which must be replaced after each use, these studs are reusable. These studs are manufactured in an ISO/TS 16949 quality control facility. Included with the stud kit 12-point nuts and washers. Assembly lubricant sold separately.
