Replacement heads for my 3.5 EcoBoost worked perfect. The kit had everything I needed. The customer service was excellent. Highly recommend this company.
Best prices and customer service on Duramax LML heads out there. Shipped fast and very cool about how long it took to get the cores back.
The experience was excellent. My part came sooner than expected and was exactly as advertised. This is how a business should be run. I would give 6 stars if I could, thank you HDPC
Part came in and work as a champ. Price was better than all other places I look for the set. Will recommended to all my soldiers and/or buddies if they need cylinder heads replace. Thank you guys.

Additional Info
GM Chevrolet Buick 1.4L Turbo LUJ LUV Head Gasket Set with Head Bolts (2011–2022)
Complete Direct-Fit Head Gasket and Bolt Kit
This complete head gasket set is designed for GM 1.4L Turbo LUJ and LUV engines used in select Chevrolet and Buick vehicles. It includes an MLS head gasket, required sealing components, and new torque-to-yield cylinder head bolts for a complete top-end repair.
🛠️ Why This Kit
- Head bolts included — these are torque-to-yield and must be replaced every time the head comes off. Kits without bolts aren’t complete.
- MLS gasket rated for the 1.4L turbo’s cylinder pressures.
- Matched set — no hunting down a missing seal halfway through the job.
- Works whether you’re doing a head gasket job on your original head, installing a replacement head, or just resealing the top end.
🔧 Installation Notes
- Replace head bolts every time — reusing torque-to-yield bolts is the #1 cause of repeat gasket failure on this engine.
- Torque in the GM-specified sequence (multi-step torque + angle).
- Check the head and block deck for flatness before reinstalling. The 1.4L aluminum head warps easily after an overheat.
- Replace the thermostat and inspect the water pump while you’re in there.
