The head gasket is the key component of the engine. It is compressed between the engine block and the cylinder head. The head gasket seals in the internal combustion process to make sure maximum compression is achieved and also keeps coolant and oil from mixing together as the two fluids travel from the engine block to the cylinder head. Time will come that your head gasket will leak or blow. The cylinder head bolts hold the cylinder head and cylinder head gasket in place and ensure that the cylinder head will continue to hold up despite the tremendous amounts of pressure in the combustion chamber. Therefore the cylinder head bolts, and cylinder head gasket are an important part of your engine. They should always be in perfect condition and should be maintained properly. So, if you notice that this part is showing signs of excessive wear, have them replaced immediately. Be sure to have your engine gaskets, and head bolts replace with aftermarket replacement head gasket bolts set as soon as it starts to give you trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to unlock more performance out of your vehicle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure smooth, reliable operation and long-lasting service\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade tough to withstand high loads and stresses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeliver a reasonable balance of strength and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurface hardened and polished for strength and reduced friction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFits Following Models:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e2001-2003 FORD EXPLORER SPORT TRAC\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"E\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2002-2003 FORD EXPLORER\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 FLEX SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"K\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e07\/24\/2000-2003 FORD EXPLORER\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"E\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2001-2003 FORD RANGER\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"E\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2001-2003 MAZDA B4000\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 4016CC V6 SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"E\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2002-2003 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 FLEX SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"K\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e2002 MERCURY MOUNTAINEER\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0L 245CID V6 SOHC, (12 VALVE), VIN CODE \"E\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis item includes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple Layers Steel (MLS) Head Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve Cover Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eValve Stem Seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntake Manifold Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExhaust Manifold Gasket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFront Camshaft Seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-rings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOther Small Gaskets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRTV Silicone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e20 Cylinder Head Bolts (16 Long Bolts, 4 Short Bolts)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"-partnumber\"\u003ePart Numbers: 8-20702, HB20700, SL1000\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEvergreen Auto Parts and Components Inc\u003c\/b\u003e  stands tall as a beacon of quality and reliability within the automotive industry.
