IPD - Caterpillar C15 CRYO-TREATED Headbolt kit - C15CHBKFR

Bolt Down the Power: IPD Cryo Head Bolts – Truckers' Stress-Free Seal for Non-Stop Hauls

We are happy to announce that we are now offering a cryotreated C15 head bolt kit (C15CHBKFR). What makes cryo-treating so special? Cryogenic heat treatment is a precisely engineered process of taking materials down to approximately -310° F, keeping them at that temperature in liquid nitrogen to remove residual stresses, and then ramping temperature back to room temperature, followed by a mild heat treatment process. The end result is a considerably longer life bolt with less internal stress and optimized tensile strength. IPD’s cryo-treated C15 head bolts are designed to ensure proper and even clamping forces across your cylinder head and keep your engine running, all while standing up to the brutal vibrations, heat, and pressure of heavy-haul trucking where downtime isn't an option. BPS Diesel, an official stocking distributor for IPD, has this kit in stock and ready for fast shipping—upgrade your rig today for unbreakable reliability on those grueling cross-country runs.

Key Features

• Cryogenic Treatment: Materials cooled to -310°F in liquid nitrogen to eliminate residual stresses, followed by controlled reheating for enhanced durability and performance in high-stress diesel environments.
• Optimized Tensile Strength: Results in longer bolt life with reduced internal stress, preventing fatigue and failures common in standard bolts during intense hauls.
• Even Clamping Force: Ensures uniform pressure across the cylinder head without shaft twisting, purely through nut-washer dynamics for secure, leak-free sealing.
• Smoother Installation: Cryo-treated parts tighten down effortlessly and retain torque longer, ideal for quick rebuilds with OE specs and sequence—no extra tightening needed.
• Reusable Components: Studs, nuts, and washers maintain integrity over time, offering cost savings and versatility for on-highway or industrial CAT 3406E/C15/C16/C15ACERT/C18 engines.
• Organized Packaging: Color-coded plastic sleeves by length for studs, with separate bags for nuts/washers, simplifying inventory and installation for busy truckers.
