Why should I replace my head bolts when replacing the head gasket?

Many modern head bolts are Torque-To-Yield (T-T-Y) bolts, meaning they are designed to stretch to a specific point during installation. Once stretched, they cannot be safely reused as they may have weakened. Using new, application-specific bolts like these from Fel-Pro ensures proper clamping force and a reliable seal.

Are these bolts a direct replacement for the original equipment?

Yes, these Fel-Pro cylinder head bolts are application-specific and designed to meet or exceed all original equipment specifications. They are validated for fit, form, and function to ensure they work correctly on your specific vehicle.

What vehicles does this specific Fel-Pro head bolt set fit?

This set is designed for the Ford Ranger from 1998-2008. It also fits the Ford Taurus (1998-2007), Ford Windstar (1998-2000), Mazda B3000 (1998-2007), and Mercury Sable (1998-2005).
