In comparison to standard bolts, our alloy's material characteristics enable much higher tensile strength. For the best fatigue strength, threads are rolled after thermal treatment. A high-quality coating can improve corrosion resistance, reduce friction, and improve overall performance.

Engineering details
The bolt head bears on a hardened washer while the threaded end engages the engine block. Tightening the bolt creates the clamping load that holds the cylinder head and gasket against the block.
Alloy steel head bolts with a black oxide finish, paired with hardened parallel washers.
The bolt threads are rolled after thermal treatment as part of the manufacturing process.
Hardened parallel washers sit beneath the bolt heads and distribute load across the seating surfaces. Use the supplied assembly lubricant with the correct procedure for your kit.
