Ford Powerstroke 6.4L Gator Head Studs (2008-2010)

The 6.4L Power Stroke is a strong engine, but it can have head gasket problems. The Gator HD220 Heavy Duty Head Stud Kit helps fix that. It replaces the factory head bolts with stronger studs that hold the cylinder heads tighter. This helps prevent leaks and gasket failure, especially when running higher boost, towing heavy loads, or adding performance upgrades.

Key Features

• HD220 Alloy – 220,000 PSI Strength: These studs are built using Gator’s exclusive HD220 material. They give you clamping force that goes way beyond standard 8740 chromoly. If you’re dealing with big cylinder pressure, they’re made for it.
• Rolled Threads After Heat Treat: This part’s important—the threads get rolled *after* heat treatment, which helps keep the structure intact. That means stronger threads and way better long-term durability.
• Corrosion-Resistant Coating: Each stud is treated with a black oxide finish. Not just for looks—it holds up well in wet, salty, or dusty conditions that would usually wear things out faster.
• Everything You Need in One Box: You’ll get high-strength 12-point nuts, hardened washers, the Gator Juice lube, and clear torque instructions. Makes the install smoother and more reliable.

Why Ditch the Factory Head Bolts?

The factory bolts on the 6.4L tend to stretch when the pressure climbs—like when you’re towing, tuned, or just running the engine hard. That stretch is what usually causes head gasket issues. The Gator HD220 Stud Kit solves that by keeping everything sealed up tight. Whether you’re working the truck or building it out for more power, this is one of those upgrades that saves you from bigger headaches later on.
