BD DIESEL 1041483 6.0L POWER STROKE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BOLT AND SPACER KIT – FORD 2003–2007 F250/F350

Product Description

The BD DIESEL 1041483 Exhaust Manifold Bolt & Spacer Kit is the proper fix for stretched, fatigued, or rounded factory exhaust manifold bolts on the 2003–2007 Ford 6.0L Power Stroke in F250/F350 applications. Many aftermarket bolts are shorter than OEM, which can accelerate bolt stretch through repeated heat cycles. When bolts stretch, manifolds loosen, exhaust leaks develop, and repeated re-torquing increases the risk of bolt breakage. This kit is engineered to restore clamping force and long-term durability.

BD Diesel 1041483, 6.0 Power Stroke manifold bolt kit, exhaust manifold bolt and spacer kit, Ford 6.0 exhaust manifold hardware, class 10.9 manifold bolts, 18mm exhaust spacers, prevent manifold leaks, prevent bolt stretch

BD Diesel solves the problem using high-strength Class 10.9 hardware and 18mm exhaust spacers that allow the fasteners to stretch properly under thermal stress without fracturing or permanently yielding. The result is improved clamp load stability, reduced exhaust leaks, and better long-term serviceability compared to common short-bolt replacement kits.

Why do exhaust manifold bolts fail on the 6.0L Power Stroke?

Heat cycling and bolt fatigue can cause bolts to stretch over time. When clamp load is reduced, manifolds can leak and repeated re-torquing increases the chance of bolt breakage.

Does this kit include everything needed for both manifolds?

Yes. This kit includes 16 bolts and 16 spacers, designed to service both exhaust manifolds on the 6.0L Power Stroke.

Are these bolts stronger than factory bolts?

Yes. The bolts included are Class 10.9 hardware, selected for improved durability and resistance to fatigue under high heat conditions.
