FAQ

Is the FPE-61-10005 a brand-new head or a remanufactured core?

This is a brand-new cylinder head casting. Fleece does not reuse old castings for the Freedom Series heads, ensuring maximum durability and eliminating OEM cracking and fatigue issues.

Does this head come fully assembled?

Yes. The head includes new valves, springs, keepers, retainers, valve seats, and seals — ready to bolt on out of the box.

Is this head suitable for towing and daily driving?

Absolutely. The Street version of the Freedom Series head is designed specifically for daily-driven trucks and tow rigs that need a durable, long-lasting upgrade over the OEM casting.

What horsepower level is this head designed for?

The Street Series is ideal for stock to mild performance builds. For high-horsepower or competition-level applications, Fleece recommends a Performance or Race Series head.

Does this head require upgraded head studs?

While factory bolts can be used in stock applications, upgraded head studs are recommended for any tuned, towing, or performance build to maximize sealing and long-term reliability.
