Fel‑Pro designs these kits to meet or exceed original equipment standards and to simplify repairs on supported Cadillac and Chevrolet models from late‑2000s to mid‑2010s. Using a fresh, validated bolt kit avoids the reliability risks from reusing single‑use T‑T‑Y head bolts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich vehicles does this bolt set fit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES 72390 kit targets a range of GM cars and trucks that used torque‑to‑yield head bolts.
