Ford Powerstroke 6.7L Gator Head Studs (2011-2025)

Ford Powerstroke 6.7L Gator HD220 Head Studs

The 6.7L Power Stroke is a powerful engine, but heavy towing and higher boost levels can put extra stress on the factory head bolts. Over time, this can lead to head gasket failure and loss of sealing pressure. The Gator HD220 Head Stud Kit is designed to address this issue by replacing stock bolts with high-strength studs that provide stronger, more consistent clamping force. This helps keep the cylinder heads sealed under demanding conditions, making it a reliable upgrade for work trucks and performance builds.

Key Features

• HD220 Alloy – 220,000 PSI Strength: Built from Gator’s own HD220 material, these studs are tougher than your average chromoly. They hold strong under high boost and combustion pressure—where factory bolts start to give up.
• Rolled Threads After Heat Treatment: Threads are rolled after the studs are heat-treated, which helps keep the metal's internal structure intact. That means better fatigue resistance and longer life.
• Rust-Fighting Black Oxide Coating: The black finish isn’t just for show—it helps protect the studs from rust and corrosion, even in wet or gritty work environments.
• All-In-One Kit: Comes with 12-point nuts, hardened washers, Gator Juice lube, and clear torque specs so you know everything's going together the right way. No guesswork.

Why Make the Switch?

Stock head bolts on the 6.7L can stretch when boost pressure goes up. This can lead to blown head gaskets and loss of pressure. The Gator HD220 Stud Kit helps keep everything tight and secure, giving you better reliability when towing, working hard, or adding performance upgrades.
