This kit combines a head gasket set, 20 cylinder head bolts and 16 hydraulic lifters for the 4.6L 281 CID SOHC 16-valve V8 in select 2001-2002 Ford, Lincoln and Mercury models. It is an aftermarket replacement for the original parts.
The head gasket sits between the engine block and the cylinder head. It seals the combustion process to maintain compression and keeps coolant and oil from mixing. Hydraulic lifters use oil pressure to adjust a plunger and take up the clearance in the valve train, which helps reduce engine noise and wear.
The parts are made to fit and meet the specifications of the original parts they replace. They are produced under ISO 9001:2000 quality standards.
