23530768 | Detroit Diesel Series 60 Head Bolt Kit, New 12.7L 14L

The head bolts are an important component in a diesel engine as they help to secure the cylinder head onto the engine block. They provide the necessary clamping force to ensure the proper sealing of the combustion chamber, which is essential for the engine to operate efficiently.

 

Head bolts are subjected to high levels of stress and heat, and over time, they can become weakened or stretched. This can lead to the loss of clamping force, which can result in engine failure or damage. To prevent this, it is recommended that head bolts be replaced at regular intervals according to the manufacturer's specifications.
