Most parts stores can get you a set. Be sure they have the sealer on the threads as well as under the head. If they are bare use high temp silicone or High tack red goop will work. These bolts go into water so they must be sealed. Torque with the factory pattern to 20 lbs then go back and torque to 55 pounds.

The GM 6.5 Turbo DieselThe GM 6.5 Turbo diesel is one of the best diesel engines that can be had in any truck.Why?. Easy to work on.
A large stock and performance aftermarket. Strong forum support with information and techniques. The ease in which you can get power out of them. There are trucks with 600,000 miles and more on them with the original engine. DURABILITY!!!All this makes them fun and economical to work on, fun to drive, able to do most of the work that you could demand of them, and if you do the work right with quality parts, they will last as long as you need them to. Beginning in 1982, GMs 6.2 liter diesel was a vast improvement over their failed 350 cubic inch beginning from the 70’s. While not up to the levels of the highest power option at the time, the 454 cubic inch gasoline V8, it still provided reasonable horsepower and high torque coupled with miserly fuel requirements compared to the 454, this new diesel was a popular power plant that was here to stay.Ten years later in 1992, we find ourselves with another option for the diesel and the subject of this site the 6.5 liter turbocharged version that we all know and love.
With 190 horsepower at 3400 RPM and 385 ft/lb torque at 1700 RPM, we find ourselves reaching closer to the 454s torque rating of 415 ft/lb (which is easily attainable with a few fairly simple modifications, and that’s the fun part!). Hey there greasy fingers!This site is here to help you.

Cracks in the block and cracks in the heads. Then there is of course, a hot running engine when towing, injection pump failures, poor coolant flow, blown head gaskets and (in the ’94 and up) the PMD failures.The problems. Cracked Blocks. Cracked Heads. Failed PMD (FSD). Blown Head Gaskets.

Overheated engine When Towing. Failed Injection Pump.
Poor Coolant Flow (contributing to the overheated engine) Etc.Sounds like a real hot mess, doesn’t it?Here’s why I say that this is a good thingAll these factors will contribute to you being able to pick up a truck with a GM 6.5 diesel much cheaper than other wise! “But who cares!” you say, “Who wants a hot mess, cheap or not!”. Parts BinToday's featured part for our truck:Me, Our Engine And YouWhile I’m not a professional mechanic these days, I have been working on cars for about 35 years, was ASE certified and have worked at all the major auto parts companies (NAPA primarily) and I was a mobile mechanic for a short time, but the 6.5 is the first diesel that I have ever done any real work on (changing oil in the ’76 Mercedes 240D doesn’t count).So that’s the perspective that you’ll be seeing here. I won’t be throwing a lot of official terms out at you or moving ahead with the expectation that you are a pro with pro tools. I’ll be making mistakes along the way, mistakes that you could very well be making as well and I will try to show how I worked through them. I’ll show the tools that I used, the way that I used them and where to get them whenever possible.So grab a wrench in one hand, jump on in here and start reading up on how to do your own work on your own rig!More Power, More Durability For Your GM 6.5 Diesel.
