Engine rebuild kit

The Fel-Pro ES72172 head bolt set provides replacement fasteners for cylinder head installation on compatible engines. It is intended for mechanics and DIYers performing a top-end overhaul who need new bolts rather than reusing stretched originals. The natural finish identifies the standard coating supplied by the manufacturer. Buyers needing studs or application-specific torque-to-yield specifications not covered by this kit should verify fitment before purchase.

Torque-to-yield replacement

Each bolt in the set is designed for single-use torque-to-yield applications where factory service procedures require new fasteners. The kit supplies the quantity required for one cylinder head on the listed engine families, delivering correct clamp load when tightened to the manufacturer’s specified angle and sequence. Engines requiring a different bolt count, length, or thread pitch are not supported by this part number.

Manufacturer direct fulfilment

Orders valued at 75 or more ship free when the item is dispatched directly from the manufacturer. The part was first listed on the manufacturer catalog in 2024 under reference 72172. No additional gaskets, sealant, or installation tools are included in the package.

Questions about this item

Will these ES72172 head bolts work with my existing cylinder head and block?

The ES72172 head bolt set is designed for specific engine applications; verify the part number against your vehicle's service manual to confirm compatibility with your current head and block.

How can I confirm the ES72172 bolts are torqued correctly after installation?

Follow the vehicle manufacturer's torque sequence and specifications for this bolt set; a calibrated torque wrench and the correct angle gauge are required to verify proper clamping force.

Does the ES72172 package include washers or thread sealant, or must I buy them separately?

The set contains the head bolts only; any required washers, sealant or additional hardware should be sourced per the engine manufacturer's assembly instructions.
