Patterson Custom Diesel uses ARP Head Studs in every 6.0 Powerstroke head gasket job that comes in the shop. We also recommend having the heads machined and checked thoroughly before reinstalling on the truck. We use "Black Onyx" Gaskets and highly recommend them for your Powerstroke. It is also advised to replace the oil cooler and egr cooler while it's apart. Call us if you need advice or have questions.
To overcome head gasket failures that can occur in diesel engines employed in truck and RV applications, industry leader ARP has introduced extra heavy-duty head studs for the popular Ford, Dodge and GM powerplants. These ARP studs are rated at 220,000 psi tensile strength, and provide the clamping force required to keep cylinder heads from lifting due to higher combustion pressures. The studs are manufactured in ARP's Santa Paula, CA plant from proprietary ARP 2000 material, with threads rolled after heat-treat to provide optimum fatigue strength. They are centerless ground to assure perfect concentricity. The ends of the studs are broached to facilitate easy installation. This feature also enables the cylinder head to be removed in tight quarters. Also included in each kit are heat-treated, chrome-moly steel 12-point nuts and parallel-ground washers. They are black oxide finished for extra durability.
Never before has the proper oil additive package been so instrumental in protecting todays high performance diesel engines. With the EPA mandating the removal of key lubricating components such as Zinc, Sulfur and many more from today's diesel fuel and engine oils the consumer has been left with only one choice for complete protection. REV-X performance oil additive fills that gap and then blows the previous specifications away with above and beyond performance and protection for any lubricated component in your pride and joy!
