PAI 040116 Cummins ISX/X15 Cylinder Head Bolt Kit
The PAI 040116 Head Bolt Kit is a complete premium aftermarket cylinder-head fastener set for select Cummins ISX, ISX15, X15 and QSX heavy-duty diesel engines. The kit includes all 26 bolts required to secure the cylinder head to the engine block and restore the correct, evenly distributed clamping force during a cylinder-head replacement, upper-engine repair or complete overhaul.
PAI manufactures the bolts to closely controlled dimensions for dependable sealing under the high cylinder pressures, operating temperatures and thermal cycling found in heavy-duty diesel service. Installing a complete new set helps reduce the risk of inconsistent bolt stretch, uneven head-gasket loading and premature sealing failure that can result from reusing fatigued or damaged fasteners.
