Cylinder Head Stud Kit 247-4202 For Dodge Cummins 24v Diesel 5.9L 6.7L 1998-2018

Cylinder Head Stud Kit for Dodge Cummins

This cylinder head stud kit secures the cylinder head to the engine block under extreme combustion pressures, replacing OEM part number 247-4202.

Overview

This high-tensile cylinder head stud kit provides the clamping force needed to prevent blown head gaskets in high-output diesel engines. By distributing the clamping load evenly, the cylinder head stud kit prevents thread stretching and cylinder head lifting. It is designed for diesel mechanics and truck owners working on high-performance builds.

Built For Performance

• Thread-rolled after heat treatment for maximum fatigue strength
• Precision-ground parallel washers ensure uniform load distribution
• Constructed from premium high-tensile strength alloy steel
• Black oxide finish provides superior corrosion and wear resistance

Fits These Machines

• for Dodge Cummins 24V 5.9L Diesel (1998-2018)
• for Dodge Cummins 24V 6.7L Diesel (1998-2018)

On-The-Job Use

Good To Know

Q: Why are studs preferred over standard head bolts? A: Studs provide more accurate and consistent torque loading because they do not twist during tightening. This prevents head gasket failure under high cylinder pressures.

Q: Should these studs be torqued in a specific sequence? A: Yes, always follow the engine manufacturer's specified torque sequence and specifications to ensure even clamping.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
