Fel-Pro ES72896 is a cylinder head bolt set for 2.5L L4 engines in select Dodge Dakota, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler applications from the late 1990s and early 2000s.

- Hardware dimensions include 4.500 in. and 3.750 in. bolt lengths, .500 in. bolt diameter, 2.250 in. thread length, and 13 thread pitch.

Includes:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Flat washers
Use new head bolts during cylinder head service when the original torque-to-yield fasteners have been removed. Follow the engine service procedure and torque sequence for the specific vehicle application.
Fits select 2.5L L4 Dodge Dakota, Jeep Cherokee, and Jeep Wrangler applications. Verify vehicle year, engine, and submodel before ordering because Jeep TJ application data is not consistently confirmed in the available fitment references.
