FAQ

Is M-3920780 the “long” bolt?
Most service charts call 3920780 the medium-length (≈120 mm) bolt used in 14 positions on 5.9L 12V heads. Some catalogs label it “long,” so always match by part number and length.
How many of this bolt does my 5.9L 12V require?
Typically 14 pieces of 3920780, plus 6 short (3920779) and 6 long (3920781) to complete a 26-bolt set.
Will this fit 24-valve (1998.5–2002) engines?
No—this listing targets 1989–1998 12-valve applications. 24-valve engines use different head bolts.
Can I mix bolts and studs?
It’s best to use a complete matched set (all bolts or an engineered stud kit) to maintain uniform clamping.
