I'm gearing up to fix a suspected head gasket leak. This is a 2000 sport, 4.0 OHV. The leak is coming from rear of engine, passenger side. I've spent hours trying to track it down to confirm where its coming from, yet best I can tell is it looks like its where the head mates to the block, passenger side rear. I guess it could be the intake, but I want to be prepared to go all the way to the head gaskets with no delay.
I was wondering if I will need anything else besides new head bolts, and a top end gasket kit?
I am very familiar with building engines, just not newer ford V6's. I dont believe there are any special tools needed, Im well equipped with torque wrenches, torqure angle meters, etc.
Also, rock auto lists multiple companies for bolts/gasket kits (victor reinz, fel pro, sealed power) I assume the victor stuff is the factory stuff? or is the felpro stuff ok too.
Thanks
