Fel-Pro ES72249-2 Head Bolts

These Fel-Pro head bolts are new replacement fasteners for engine cylinder heads. They suit automotive repair shops and DIY mechanics performing head gasket service or engine rebuilds. The natural finish indicates standard coating without additional surface treatments. This hardware addresses the core fastening requirement during upper engine assembly.

Replaces original equipment head bolts

Factory head bolts often stretch beyond reuse limits after thermal cycling and torque cycles. This kit provides fresh fasteners when the original set cannot be safely reinstalled. The jump is worth it whenever a cylinder head is removed, because reusing stretched bolts risks uneven clamping force and gasket failure. No other hardware is included in this package.

Torque-to-yield fastener limits

These bolts follow a torque-to-yield design that permanently stretches during final tightening. Once stretched to specification they cannot be retorqued or reused for another cycle. Builders who need adjustable or reusable studs must select a different fastener system. The natural coating offers standard corrosion resistance without premium plating.

Questions about this item

What size socket fits the Fel-Pro ES72249-2 head bolt heads?

The bolt heads accept a standard heavy-duty socket matching the fastener hex; use a calibrated torque wrench to reach the engine-spec clamping load.

Which step do installers most often skip when fitting Fel-Pro ES72249-2 head bolts?

Cleaning every block thread with a chaser tap and applying the specified thread lubricant before the first torque pass.

When should Fel-Pro ES72249-2 head bolts be replaced instead of reused?

Replace them any time the cylinder head is removed or if the bolts show stretch, corrosion or damaged threads.
