OptiTorque Technologies 10270 TorqueMaster Head Stud Kit

Pick up the OptiTorque Technologies 10270 TorqueMaster Head Stud Kit from XDP for your 2003-2010 Ford 6.0L Powerstroke today. OptiTorque's multiple grades of material ensure each customer has a solution for a variety of applications. Studs and bolts are produced from the finest quality domestically melted premium steels. The oversized steel bars are further cold-worked to increase mechanical properties and remove any surface impurities. The fasteners are heat treated with a proprietary process, unique from the automotive, commercial, and aerospace industries allowing each fastener the ability to achieve higher tensile strengths without sacrificing toughness. Fasteners are centerless ground to ensure concentricity and any surface defects from heat treating are removed. Threads are roll formed on the fastener in the hardened state. Once threaded, the fasteners are stress-relieved, deburred, and plated or polished prior to meeting each customer's packaging requirements.

Features:

• Tensile Strength 190 KSI - 240 KSI
• Threads Are Roll Formed On The Fastener In The Hardened State
• Manufactured From The Finest Quality Domestically Melted Premium Steel
• Straightened Prior To Centerless Grinding To Maintain Concentricity And Roundness

TECH TIPS:
XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers (Sold Separately):
Both the XD40126TC (for head studs), and 40128TC (for inner row bolts) are a great add-on that will be critical during installation. Thread Cleaning Chasers are an excellent tool to have on-hand to ensure you have properly cleaned the threads in your engine block before the installation of any fasteners. Clean threads provide accurate torque readings and will help give you peace of mind during your engine build or head gasket repair.
