Would like to know what parts I would need if I'm replacing BOTH heads on my '02 3.0l Ranger? I found the Ford TSB (05-26-3) that covers the Head issue Ford knows about and it that bulletin there is a list of Ford p/n parts they call out for 1 (ONE) head: What is the quantity of those parts being that I'm doing BOTH heads? For instance, the Head Bolts.
PART NUMBER / PART NAME
6U7Z-6049-A / Cylinder Head Assembly
2F1Z-6079-BB / Upper Gasket Kit
F8 DZ-6065-AA / Cylinder Head Bolts
F7DZ-9448-BB / Engine Exhaust Gasket
4F1Z-658-AA / Valve Cover Gasket
F6DZ-9439-C / Side Gasket
F2DZ-9A425-AA / China Gasket (Front)
F3DZ-9A424-BA / China Gasket (Rear)
4L5Z-9H486-AA / Gasket-Upper Intake Manifold
I know the Cylinder Heads are NOT available from Ford any longer.
If I have to remove other components to access the heads, what other parts will I need? Fuel Injector 0-rings?
With 245k miles on the truck what other items should I change out? Like ALL the coolant hoses? PCV parts? EGR parts? Plugs, what p/n? The coil and wires are NEW Motorcraft (less than 1k on them)
Are the exhaust manifolds held on with bolts or nuts? Should they be replaced?
Thanks all. I want this project to go as smooth as possible w/o lacking parts (seals, o-rings, gskts, type stuff) I know I could run into unknowns but I'll have to deal with that as it comes up.
