• Description:

  This is a genuine Ford Seal Bolt, an engineering-standard sealing fastener used throughout the 6.0L and 6.4L Power Stroke diesel platform found in 2003-2010 F-250, F-350, F-450 and F-550 Super Duty trucks, the E-150 through E-450 Econoline vans, and the 2003-2005 Excursion. A seal bolt combines a threaded fastener with an integral sealing face or captive washer so that, once torqued, it both secures its component and blocks fluid or air from weeping past the threads and bolt head. Ford uses hardware like this at housings, covers and passages where a plain bolt would let oil, coolant or vacuum seep, so the correct sealing bolt is important to a leak-free repair. Buyers typically reach for this part after finding a slow oil or coolant film around a bolt head, a corroded or stripped original fastener, or missing hardware discovered during a diesel engine, turbo, oil cooler or EGR service. Reusing a rusted, over-torqued or damaged sealing bolt can leave a persistent seep or a loose joint, so replacing it with the genuine Ford item restores the factory clamp load and seal. This bolt matches Ford's original specification for thread size, length and finish, and is the same hardware supplied through the Ford parts catalog for these diesel applications. Always clean the mating threads, follow the applicable Ford torque specification for the location being serviced, and confirm the fastener is fully seated so the sealing face makes proper contact. Ordering the genuine Ford component avoids the fit and corrosion-resistance problems common with generic hardware and keeps the repair to factory standard.
