Hello,
I have been around this wonderful site for just a short while. I need to do head gaskets on my 94 4.0 ohv Explorer. Will prob replace much of the cooling system and exhaust and any other valve train parts that need replacing. Going to install King 93tm heads per recommendation here, and with some cheap SS headers just because I live in a heavily salted area
I have been searching the site for a few weeks now and I have received a ton of good info which prompted me to donate. Money well spent imho.
My question is,
Is there a more modern, updated list for parts and/or part numbers? I am searching like a madman but none of the pics are showing, and almost all the links are dead. I could be just not looking in the right place though.
I know that I need to buy upper/lower intake gasket set, valve cover gaskets, etc but I am looking for a gasket kit that will contain the best quality parts and the most complete. I don’t mind changing IAC gasket EGR throttle body etc and would like the gaskets to be of the best design since there seem to be several designs and you know some of them are prob good and some are prob not so good.
My plan is to install King cylinder heads with reusable bolts and gaskets from Tom morana and then use either Fel pro or OEM or whatever company makes the best gasket kit for the valve covers and the upper/lower intake. The headers come with gaskets so I won’t need those, should I just use the head gaskets that come with a head changing kit? I’m not trying to have to do this job ever again, so I would like to install good quality head gaskets. Are the Tom morana head gaskets overkill?
Or am I better off getting different gaskets from different manufacturers to get the best designs possible?
Thanks for any help, trying to get these parts ordered so I can get this truck back in working order.
