ARP Head Studs & Mahle 18mm Black Diamond Head Gasket Combo - 2003-January 11th, 2006

Thoroughbred Diesel is offering this combo for the 2003-2007 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L diesel trucks. This Combo inclues the ARP 250-4202 Head studs for the Ford 6.0L and 2 Mahle Clevite 54450A Black Diamond Head 18mm Gaskets.

These ARP studs are rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength, and provide the clamping force required to keep cylinder heads from lifting due to higher combustion pressures. The studs are manufactured in ARP's Santa Paula, CA plant from proprietary ARP 2000 material, with threads rolled after heat-treat to provide optimum fatigue strength. They are centerless ground to assure perfect concentricity. The ends of the studs are broached to facilitate easy installation. This feature also enables the cylinder head to be removed in tight quarters. Also included in each kit are heat-treated, chrome-moly steel 12-point nuts and parallel-ground washers. They are black oxide finished for extra durability.

The Mahle Clevite Black Diamond Head 18mm Gaskets are constructed of (5) five stainless steel layers Utilizing patented integrated push rod locators, each coated with a proprietary fluoroelastomer (rubber) coating. The coating seals and impregnates into the mating component surface where it decreases friction forces and allows controlled sliding of the mating components relative to the gasket without fretting or damage to aluminum engine components.

Includes:

• ARP Head Stud Kit 250-4202
• Mahle Clevite Black Diamond Head 18mm Gaskets 54450A (Qty 2)
