Cylinder head bolts fasten the head to the engine block and hold the head gasket under clamping load. That load helps the gasket seal combustion pressure, coolant and oil passages between the two surfaces. Installing a replacement engine cylinder head bolt set is a common step in a head gasket or cylinder head service. Consult the vehicle service information for the correct tightening sequence and torque procedure, and for whether any original fasteners may be reused.
With 45 listed applications, see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full year, make, model and engine list.
