OptiTorque Technologies 10392P Patriot Head Stud Kit

The OptiTorque Technologies 10392P Patriot Head Stud Kit from XDP is a durable replacement for the factory head bolts on your Dodge 5.9L Diesel. OptiTorque offers multiple grades of material to meet various application needs. Studs and bolts are made from high-quality premium steels that are domestically melted. The steel bars are cold worked to enhance mechanical properties and eliminate surface impurities. OptiTorque fasteners undergo a proprietary heat treatment process, allowing them to achieve higher tensile strengths while maintaining toughness. The fasteners are centerless ground to ensure concentricity and remove any surface defects from heat treating. Threads are roll formed on the hardened fasteners. After threading, the fasteners are stress relieved, deburred, and plated or polished to meet each customer's packaging requirements.

XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers (Sold Separately):
The XDP Thread Cleaning Chasers XD40125TC (For Head Studs) & XD40128TC (For Rocker Arm Pedestal Bolts) are an excellent add-on that should be used prior to installation of this kit. Using Thread Cleaning Chasers ensures that you are able to properly clean the threads in your engine block before the installation and torquing of the head studs. Clean threads will provide you with accurate torque readings which are critical during your head gasket repair, or engine build.
