Stripped out HPOP mounting bolts on your 7.3 Powerstroke? Don't worry, it's extremely common and no, you don't need to hunt for a new-to-you front cover (although our billet front cover is pretty neat!). Ford discontinued them recently, and finding a quality one these days is difficult, to say the least. That’s where the EZ-Lok HPOP Bolt Insert Kit comes in.

This kit is designed to repair stripped HPOP mounting bolt threads right in the front cover using a threaded insert; no need to replace the whole thing. With all the tools and components you need, it’s a straightforward fix that restores clamping force and reliability to your HPOP setup.

Instead of parking your truck while you search for a hard-to-find front cover, you can get back to driving with confidence knowing the repair is solid, durable, and built to last.
