Tech Tip: Proper Torque Sequence for Head Stud Installation

When installing Gator Head Studs on your 7.3L Power Stroke engine, it’s crucial to follow the correct torque sequence to ensure even pressure distribution and achieve a proper seal. First, begin by hand-tightening all studs. Next, proceed with a three-step process to torque them to specification.

. Start with 40 ft-lbs, increase to 70 ft-lbs, and finish with the final torque specified by the manufacturer. Always follow the recommended torque sequence pattern, usually starting from the center and working outward in a crisscross pattern, to avoid warping the cylinder head. This careful approach helps prevent head gasket failures and ensures long-lasting engine performance.
